A major France Southwest
event, in the Tarn department
the Gaillac Lanterns Festival
In 2017, the first
edition of this Chinese representation
(after Dallas, Singapore or Toronto) has
won over 250,000 visitors
This year we decided
to attend this Festival
It took place in a renewed
park of Foucaud castle of 3.5 hectares, from 1 December 2018 to 6 February 2019.
The construction of
the structures took more than a month. They are artisans from China who developed them. The monumental light sculptures created by Chinese artisans are really magic with luminous sculptures.
The largest lantern light ever designed was created for the 2nd
edition of the Gaillac Festival.
It is a gigantic palace 75 meters long, 20 meters
deep and about 20 meters high.
There is a reproduction of the Temple of Heaven in Beijing but also a dragon whose structure is made of plates.
There are also nearly a hundred light sculptures, strange creatures that are displayed in the park
In some places, animated scenes with Sichuan troops
You can also enjoy the region, to visit Cordes sur Ciel, the village classified "more beautiful village of France”
