Hello hello!
I am back from my mini weekend trip from Murten and was just in a mood to post about it! The Licht-Festival (Light-Festival or in French Festival des Lumières) in Murten just started from 15th to 26th January 2020 and since I haven’t done any more trips with my Mum lately, I thought this would be a great opportunity. I have seen some videos about this event and the illumination and shows looked so magical – I had to get tickets for this year. The entry is 5 CHF for the illuminating area in the old town and if you would like to enjoy a special show in the church, you have to pay a little extra. The opening was at 18.00, the event itself will finish at 22.00. If you arrive early, you can have coffee or tea at the tea-rooms or cafés in the same area. We had dinner in between (at La Brasserie – very recommended and the staff speaks a lot of languages!), so we did not have to leave the festival. There were several spots where you can enjoy light shows every 30 or 20 minutes at different locations. Also regional artists were presenting their animations and light messages throughout several spots. The area was bigger than expected and the festival went all way down to the lake. It was a bit pity that it was raining, otherwise I probably would have made much more pictures in front of the colourful and fascinating creations. All in all we had a cold but an enchanting day in Murten.
PS. There is also a light festival in Lucerne, called LILU. It is for free and it is still open until today. My sister showed me some beautiful pictures, I definitely need to have a look there next year.
