The technical services staff of Parthenay have been working for several weeks to install Christmas illuminations in the town center. This year, the town will shine in red and white from December 4th to January 4th.
In addition to the lights, a fir tree forest, luminous animals, and a magical bubble will be set up on the George-Pompidou esplanade, next to the traditional large Christmas tree.
The installation of most of the illuminations is carried out internally by municipal staff. Only a portion of the garland installation on Avenue de la Gare was entrusted to an external company, at a cost of 6,480 euros TTC. The rest of the installation and removal are handled by the technical services.
The rental cost for the illuminations amounts to 27,492 € TTC, a decrease compared to 2025 (29,322 €). Thanks to the use of LEDs, the electricity consumption for this festive lighting is expected to add only about 1000 euros for the month.
