On November 13th, in memory of the victims of last year's attacks in Paris, paper lanterns will float down the Canal Saint Martin. This lantern ceremony will benefit two non-profits supporting victims of terrorism acts and their families: AfVT.org and 13Onze15.org. This candle-lit lantern ceremony has inspired many other countries to do the same: China, Thailand, Japan, Hawaii and more. According to some, the white paper lanterns are used to represent those who died in the past year. According to others, they represent wishes. In association with the City of Paris, we will remember the ones we lost and, together, wish for a brighter tomorrow. If you cannot join us, our staff can float a lantern on your behalf.
