It was quite a nice idea, to organize in Montpellier a "Fête des Lumières" - a Lights' Day.
Slightly fashionable: the original Fête des Lumières attracts thousands of visitors to Lyon each year.
Slightly risky: it could have rained... and locals don't go out when it rains, unlike the inhabitants (and tourists) of Lyon.
The Chambre du Commerce et de l'Industrie and the shop owners of the historical center had a nice idea, selected good artists, and were lucky with the weather.
The conceptors greatly played on the architecture and details of the tree enlightened buildings - the Prefecture and two churches.
The historical and the terraces of the cafés were crowdy.
The shops kept open late enough... but personnally, I was fed up of people after a few shows.
Following: my photographies, and 3 videos found on youtube.
The most appreciated show for children was certainly the Fabulous Lutin's Show
(fabulous leprechaun's show),
on the Prefecture.
See the links to videos...

Another nice show, on the Eglise Saint-Roch - a church devoted to the most important saint of Montpellier, on the road of Santiago de Compostela.
It was based on religious paintings, and also gave a new dimension to the architecture...

We didn't see the last one, on the Eglise Saint-Denis...
But here is a video...
