The new Christmas 2026 display, designed by Blachère Illumination, draws inspiration from woodland glades. A suspended canopy combines golden oak leaves, fir branches and giant pine cones above the cobblestones. Warm-white LED garlands illuminate the old wine cellars in golden and copper tones.

An eight-meter Christmas tree completes the installation. Visitors can walk through it, passing beneath a canopy of lights at the heart of the display. It’s a great way to add a stop to a Christmas stroll through the capital—and find more ideas in our guide to Christmas lights in Paris.
