Once again this year, our neighbors in Cassis know how to turn winter into a charming season. After the ecological skating rink, which attracts slide fans, the town offers another enchanting rendezvous. A light show that transforms the port and the emblematic fishermen’s houses into a veritable tableau vivant. From December 5 to January 4, as night falls, the village lights up and invites you to take a timeless evening stroll. A magical event that extends the spirit of the festive season and enhances Cassis’ already enchanting setting.
Fishermen’s houses become the backdrop for a light show
As soon as night falls, the heart of the port changes from its daytime attire to that of a dream. Under the title ” Maison de pêcheurs en lumière artistique “, Cassis’ heritage is transformed into a veritable open-air theater, where time seems to stand still. Here, the emblematic façades are no longer mere walls, but living canvases of poetry and movement. In the rhythm of spectacular projections that draw a choreography of colors, the architecture of Cassidia comes alive and reveals its secrets.
This year, the magic reaches its climax with a major innovation: a tailor-made sound scenography. It’s no longer just a show that you contemplate, it’s an experience that you live. An enveloping musical ambience underlines each image, creating a perfect harmony between image and sound.
A magical alternative… without the crowds
Of course, Cassis isn’t Lyon and its famous Fête des Lumières, and that’s precisely what makes it so charming. Here, there are no stifling crowds: you can enjoy the show in a peaceful atmosphere, as you stroll along the port, facing the sea.
The show runs every evening from 6 to 8pm on weekdays, and until 10pm on Fridays, Saturdays and during school vacations. The perfect way to prolong the magic of Christmas after a cold winter’s day, with family, friends or loved ones.
