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 a tall 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.

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.
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.
