The association des Petites Cités de Caractère de Maine-et-Loire is organising its 3rd edition of Petites Cités d’Anjou en lumière from 28 November to 21 December 2025.
The night of 28 November promises to be a beautiful one in the Petite Cité de Caractère of Saint-Florent-le-Vieil: illuminations and events will be organised at dusk by candlelight. Imagine streets and alleys lit up by candlelight, giving pride of place to stone, a lively light show combining music, dance and street art, and unique encounters and events bringing together heritage, local residents, craftspeople and local associations…
