VISITORS
Each year, the Christmas lights in Sanary-sur-Mer transform the town into a true haven of light and festivities.
“Over the years, the illuminated pointus of Sanary have become a must-see for the end-of-year celebrations. This veritable sparkling canvas on the water’s edge attracts visitors from all over the region, and sometimes from further afield, to admire this magical spectacle. In addition to their visual appeal, these iconic boats bring life to the heart of the city, attracting a large audience and creating a festive atmosphere. The illuminations thus offer a unique experience, mixing traditions and festivities, while supporting local businesses and promoting the dynamism of Sanary during this period.”
