Celebrate tradition with the Festival of Lights in Pornic! The parish of Notre-Dame de la Côte de Jade invites you to take part in a magical torchlit procession through the town’s streets. Armed with a candle or a torch, let yourself be guided along a convivial route starting from Saint-Gilles Church.

On arrival at the 8 May Bridge, a warm and tasty treat awaits participants, with biscuits to sample alongside mulled wine or hot chocolate. To the delight of the little ones, every child will be given a free ride on the merry-go-round!
