Lumiose City (Japanese: ミアレシティ Miare City) is a large city nestled in the north-central part of the Kalos region. Standing in the center of the city is the Prism Tower, which serves as its symbol. The wide roadways are paved with brick and cobblestone, allowing both automobile and Gogoat traffic safe and easy travel.
Places of interest
Prism Tower
- Main article: Lumiose Gym
Prism Tower is a large tower located in Centrico Plaza in the middle of Lumiose City. It houses the Lumiose City Gym. Prism Tower is based on the real-world Eiffel Tower in Paris, France.
North Boulevard
Lumiose Galettes
A small shop located amongst the tall buildings on the North Boulevard where the player can purchase Lumiose Galettes for $80 for one hour starting at 3 am, 9 am, 3 pm and 9 pm. Once per day upon purchasing, the player will also receive a Moomoo Milk. Once the player reaches a certain level of stylishness they can purchase Lumiose Galette any time of day.
Lumiose Museum
A large, white building that houses many paintings of people and locations in the Pokémon World. Entrance is free, but audio guides are available for $200 (once the player reaches a certain level of stylishness, the audio guides become free).
Hotel Richissime
A large, gray building on the North Boulevard. A lady at the reception desk in the lobby will offer the player the opportunity to work at room service, making beds, and/or lost and found. Each job can be completed once per day and the player is given $2,000 per completed task, and $1,000 per failed task. After completing the tasks several times, the reward will increase to $10,000, then to $20,000, and then to $50,000 per completed task.
The man next to the lady will let you stay overnight, healing your Pokémon as well, at the cost of $100,000.
Battle Institute
- Main article: Battle Institute
The Battle Institute (Japanese: トライアルハウス Trial House) on the North Boulevard works in the same way as the one in Nimbasa City in Unova. The player can opt for a Battle Test (five consecutive single or double battles) or a Download Test (which can be downloaded either wirelessly or via Wi-Fi at certain time, similar to event Pokémon). The player can win BP here.
Lumiose Station
A very large train station located on the far eastern half of the North Boulevard. Upon defeating the Elite Four and becoming the Champion, Professor Sycamore will meet the player here and give them the TMV Pass which allows them to board the train to Kiloude City.
Looker Bureau
Looker's headquarters during the post-game storyline. It is located in a narrow street between the North Boulevard and Rouge Plaza.
South Boulevard
A pre-release screenshot of Estival Avenue
PR Video Studio
A purple building on the South Boulevard where Trainer PR Videos are filmed. PR Videos filmed here can be shared with passers-by and people who have been given the player's Nintendo 3DS friend code.
Sycamore Pokémon Lab
Professor Sycamore's Pokémon research lab is located directly opposite Vernal Avenue. It is here where the player can receive either Bulbasaur, Charmander or Squirtle upon defeating Professor Sycamore in a Pokémon Battle early in the game, as well as their corresponding Mega Stone.
Coiffure Clips
A small hair dressing salon located opposite the Route 5 entrance. The player can have their hair colored and styled here. More styling options become available once the player reaches a certain level of stylishness.
Autumnal Avenue
Poké Ball Boutique
A specialty shop that specializes in different kinds of Poké Balls. It is notably the only location in any Pokémon game where Premier Balls are sold individually.
Juice Shoppe
A specialty shop that sells juices made from Berries. Two options are available: pre-made juices, available from the man on the left, or custom-blend juices from the lady on the right, made by mixing selected Berries from the player's bag.
Estival Avenue
Loto-ID Center
- Main article: Pokémon Lottery Corner
A shop located on Estival Avenue. Each day, the player may participate in a lottery draw, and prizes are granted depending on the how many digits from a randomly generated ID number match those of any Pokémon in the player's possession.
Lumiose Press
A building located next to the Loto-ID Center on Estival Avenue. Viola's sister, Alexa, will recommend various locations around the city for the player to visit, and offers to take them there.
Vernal Avenue
Friseur Furfrou
A shop on Vernal Avenue that specializes in Furfrou haircuts. They initially offer Star, Diamond and Heart Trims. As the player progresses, more trims that become available are the La Reine, Kabuki, Pharaoh, Debutante, Matron and Dandy Trims.
Herboriste
A specialty shop that sells herbal medicines.
Stone Emporium
A specialty shop that sells evolutionary stones. A man in the store will offer to sell the player the remaining Mega Stones for the two Kanto starter Pokémon they did not receive from Professor Sycamore. The prices of the Mega Stones begin at $1,000,000, but the man will sell them for as as low as $10,000 depending on the player's stylishness.
Boutique Couture
A fancy fashion boutique. The player is only granted access to the boutique once their stylishness reaches a certain level. The clothes and accessories are sold here for a much higher price than those sold at the other boutiques across Kalos. A lady in the store mentions to the player that there is a special Discount Coupon that can be used at the store, however, this item's whereabouts is currently unknown.
Restaurants
The restaurants of Lumiose City offer an interesting attraction. Each restaurant allows the player to purchase dinner and serves them various dishes to eat, however, each dish served requires a certain amount of time to settle. While settling, the employee that brought out the food will challenge the player to a Pokémon battle, telling him/her how many turns the battle should take to give the dish the perfect taste. The battles occur in a row, but the player's entire party will automatically be healed between each fight. After battling each of the employees in the restaurant, the player will receive items based on the which restaurant he/she is in, how many of their Pokémon fainted during each battle, and if each battle was won in the proper number of turns. For each faint or turn difference, the player will receive one less of the reward item. If the player complete a style of battling perfectly, a ★ appears next to that style of battle at that restaurant. In addition, as the player's style goes up, the restaurants will begin to offer a 10% discount.
The Trainers will often use turn-wasting strategies involving moves like Fly and Protect, flinch-inducing, as well as evasion-increasing Abilities like Snow Cloak, complicating the player's attempts to meet a target turn requirement.
Restaurant Le Nah
Located in South Boulevard, this one is the cheapest to get into at $3,000, but it only offers Double Battles. The perfect reward is 12 Tiny Mushrooms, and each battle is best completed in two turns.

Sushi High Roller
Located near Rouge Plaza, Sushi High Roller is the most expensive and hardest of the four restaurants to get into. The player needs to have become the Champion, completed all of the Looker Bureau chapters, and have gotten his or her style up in the city. The restaurant costs $500,000 and offers Double, Triple, and Rotation Battles. For Double Battles, the first Pokémon listed is not used by the Trainer in question and the turn requirement for each battle is three. For Triple Battles, the turn requirement is three for each battle except against Owner Kazu where it is five turns. For Rotation Battles, each battle is to be six turns except against Owner Kazu which is to be seven turns. The perfect reward is 25 Big Nuggets. Sushi High Roller is the only restaurant that does not give any profit upon completing a course even after selling the prize (the Big Nuggets), therefore the only real advantage this restaurant has, is the experience points.

Ash arrived in Lumiose City with Alexa as his first destination to the Kalos region. Ash wanted to challenge the Gym there but he was denied access and fell several feet above.
Trivia
- Many locations around the Pokémon world are featured in various paintings inside the Lumiose Museum.
- One particular painting on the top floor is likely a reference to Leonardo da Vinci. The audio guide describes the painting's artist as a polymath, and the painting itself is similar in appearance to many of da Vinci's red chalk drawings.
- An Espurr who appears on the third floor of the museum responds with 'De-gahh!' when interacted with. This could be a reference to French Impressionist Edgar Degas, the famous sculptor and painter.
- A woman beside Café Bataille explains that the two Skiddo in front of Lumiose Station were abandoned by their Trainer, and wait by the station for his return. This is a possible reference to the story of Hachikō, an Akita dog who waited at the train station every day for his owner's return, even after his unexpected death. The story is a popular legend in Japanese culture.
- If the player enters Lumiose City and gets on their bicycle, the music does not change.
- At the Magenta Plaza Pokémon Center, a young man mentions Team Plasma "making news a while back in the Unova region," while a young woman mentions Professor Oak's grandson having visited Kalos to study abroad. She also tells how he used to say "Bonjour" while meeting and "Smell ya later!" while leaving. The first quote refers to the way how Blue greets the player while visiting S.S. Anne in the original Generation I games and their remakes, while the latter one was used whenever he left the player's presence.
- The four avenues are named after words pertaining to each of the four seasons.
- The architecture style of Lumiose City is very similar to its real counterpart. Paris itself consists mostly of buildings dating back up to several centuries and the outskirts (also called the Parisian suburbs) were recently urbanised, dating back to the 1960s.
- Similarly to Paris, Lumiose City has roads connecting to all parts of Kalos. The only difference is that Paris' connections to all parts of France are used by railroads.
- On the second floor of the Fighting Dojo, a Hex Maniac Girl will appear and say "No, you're not the one", and float away. The purpose of this in-game "event", if there is one, is not known yet.
- Behind the second TMV timetable in Lumiose Station, some words are written saying "I'm going to go for help. Wait in the usual place." Some people believe that this is related to the Hex Maniac Girl in the second floor of the Fighting Dojo.
Glitches
Map of Lumiose City by Nintendo indicating areas unsafe to load saves in
At the time of release of Pokémon X and Y, many players reported being unable to move after loading a save within Lumiose City. According to Nintendo.com, if the player saves the game in certain areas of Lumiose City, then ends the game, the controls will not respond when the saved game is reloaded. They provided a map indicating known areas where the glitch can occur, which includes the entire outer boulevards. On October 25th, 2013, Nintendo released a patch for this glitch via the Nintendo eShop.
Origin
Lumiose City and Prism Tower are based on Paris and the Eiffel Tower respectively.
