The round table was attended by both representatives of Russian organizations (Svetoproekt LLC, Edline, etc.) and specialists from France: Laurent Luilleri - Vice-Mayor of Chartres, who is also the Chairman of the Tourism and Lighting Committee of the International Association LUCI and famous lighting designer - specialist in architectural lighting, one of the founders of the Festival of Light in Lyon - Alain Guillot. The round table meeting was held in the form of a free dialogue, where each of those present could express their point of view. The participants of the round table discussed the most interesting modern trends in the field of urban lighting, including festive and festival ones. Alain Guillot noted strong positive changes in the lighting system of Moscow and suggested that with such a high-quality development of lighting, Moscow within 3-4 years will reach the level of a “city-festival”, that is, cities whose lighting and light holidays are one of the main motives for tourists to visit the city. As an example, he said that the city of Lyon in 4 days of the Festival of Light attracts about 4 million guests from all over the world, but Lyon has been going to the status of a "festival city" for at least 20 years. He also emphasized the great importance of a philosophical and aesthetic approach to urban lighting design: “Light is safety, pleasure, it is a tool that changes our mood. Light has tremendous pedagogical significance: we, adults, do not look around, and children love to look at the world around them. With the help of good lighting, we can give people celebration, pleasure and happiness. Philosophical analysis of lighting plays an important role for people and this approach will undoubtedly attract even more tourists from all over the world to Moscow. " Второй гость из Франции, Лоран Люиллери познакомил московских коллег с опытом Шартра, который за 10 лет стал «городом-фестивалем». Программа комплексного освещения города шла в неотрывной связи с программой подготовки городского Фестиваля света. «В Шартре мы различаем три типа городского освещения», - рассказал г-н Люиллери, - «это будничное, выходное и праздничное. Они идут в одной увязке, перетекают одно в другое, благодаря чему наш город всегда красочно и качественно освещен. Это позволяет нам привлекать туристов в наш город круглый год, притом, что его население составляет 42 тысячи человек».
