L'Odyssée Lumineuse lights up the Parc floral for winter

L'Odyssée Lumineuse is back at the Parc floral de Paris from 14 November 2026 to 24 January 2027: a trail of giant silk lanterns you walk after dark, in the Bois de Vincennes on the eastern edge of the city. After its winter 2025-2026 run, the organiser promises an entirely new trail.

The new feature this year, according to the official site, is the Féerie des Fontaines lumineuses, a water-and-light show on the park's lake. Recreated northern lights run all evening, and the French duo The Black Fingers perform a hand shadow show at 6:40pm, 7:35pm and 8:30pm.

Allow about 1h30 for the trail and the show. A dated ticket is €13 for adults and €11 for children aged 3 to 12, free under 3; an open ticket with no fixed date is €18 and €16. You can buy at the gate, but the organiser recommends booking ahead. The trail is wheelchair and buggy friendly.

Open 5:30pm to 10pm (last entry 9:30pm) on Fridays, Saturdays and Sundays, plus Thursdays from late November to mid-December and every evening from 17 to 31 December; closed other evenings. Use the main gate on the Château de Vincennes side: Metro Château de Vincennes (line 1), then a 15-minute walk, or bus 46 or 112 to the Parc Floral stop.
