The territory Lumière was first publicly claimed on June 4th 2021 on reddit. The claims were announced earlier than was planned, with AmandaCC stating "In short, this is a claim to avoid other people claiming this area, but we'll start building a proper city very soon!"<ref name=":1" /> It was about four days later that the first roads in Lutèce were built, made from stone bricks, stone and polished blackstone.

The Lutèce Food Bank has now opened, only a few dozen blocks away from the public factory building!

===Inactivity and Merger with the CCCP===
Starting in late July, inactivity in Lumière dropped heavily, until the only player that was regularly active was AmandaCC.
