St-Ursanne in light

From November 26, 2026, to January 3, 2027, the medieval town of St-Ursanne lights up with a thousand lights, from Thursday to Sunday, between 6 pm and 8 pm. Along a route of approximately one kilometre through the cobbled streets, six light installations invite visitors to rediscover the town’s heritage in a whole new light.

On the St-Jean bridge and gate, video mapping projections bring centuries-old stonework to life. The Collegiate Church is illuminated to highlight its architecture, while a sparkling canopy, lanterns and surprising suspended Christmas trees create a magical atmosphere in the heart of the old town.

Concerts, storytelling sessions, lantern-lit guided tours and entertainment for all ages add to this enchanting winter experience. An invitation to wander, marvel and share the magic of the festive season in one of the Jura’s most beautiful medieval settings.
