4 / 7
Every dusk as the sun sets over the spectacular Arabian Gulf, the concierge at Sofitel Dubai The Palm
light twinkling candles to welcome the night and bid farewell to the day. With a touch of the dramatic,
and in elegant French style, the concierge places lit candles in their candelabra, glass orbs, and cages
to add a special sparkle to the evening. The ritual is an old Parisian tradition that started in 1667 when
the first Lieutenant General of the Paris police Nicolas de la Reynie initiated the public lighting ceremo-
ny to safeguard pedestrians in the city. Paris then became nicknamed the ‘Ville de Lumiere’ or ‘City of
Lights’.
