It varies by region. Most French provinces celebrate Christmas on Christmas Day, December 25. In Eastern and Northern France, though, the Christmas season begins on December 6 with the Festival of St. Nicolas (la Fete de Saint Nicolas). In Lyon, December 8 is la Fete de Lumieres (Festival of Lights), where the people of Lyon celebrate the Virgin Mary by placing candles in their windows to light up the city.
