Nancy, Ghent

July 16-22
Reiko Chikada visited "Sound and Light Show Place Stanislas" in Stanislas (world heritage), Nancy, France (the second week of June - mid September) and "Ghent Festival" in Ghent, Belgium (July 20-29). It was impressive that, in both cities,the city lighting was part of their long-term city plans and they have realized high quality city lighting in cooperation with professional lighting designers. Many people from all around the world visited the festivals last year,about 400,000 people to Nancy Light Show and 500,000 people to the Ghent Festival.
