And so, Parisians and passing tourists discover the lights which will illuminate the Avenue des Champs-Elysées this winter. Ahead of the launch, from 4 p.m., the Band'à Léo, a large Landes fanfare travels along this historic axis before giving way to a DJ set from 5 p.m. to 7 p.m. Then, the fanfare will return to the stage before the arrival of Tony Estanguet for the launch. Once the Champs Elysées are lit up, the singer Santa will give a concert before a DJ set takes over again. As a bonus this year, not far from the Arc de Triomphe, a giant and reusable tree 13.5 meters high can be admired.
