PARIS, France (EBU) -- It's lights-on for the Christmas season in Paris Monday.
A flick of the switch and the famous Champs Elysees is ready for the Christmas season.
It's more than a million Christmas lights and 415 trees along a mile-and-a-half stretch of the famous street. The illumination officially marks Paris' entry to the holiday season.
A large crowd gathered for the lighting, and because a climate summit in Copenhagen is only days away it was fitting that the majority of the decorations were LED greener lights.
It's said they consume only a tenth of the electricity used in 2006.
