Lyon lights up with "Fete des Lumieres"

The event has made France‘s second city something of a cultural and technological capital in artistic lighting. For four days hundreds of thousands, of people have been taken to the streets to admire an array of multi-media displays.

The annual “Fete des Lumieres” - Festival of Lights - in the French city of Lyon reached its climax this week. Public buildings, parks, boulevards and statues have been lit up with more hi-tech decorations than ever.

The soiree was held in the cozily candlelit dining room of the club, where Mr. Paulson and his firm, Paulson & Company, feted their funds' good fortune and outlined their next steps amid the market turmoil.
