You are almost always on your game so I hate to question you, but I think you have this wrong.

Belgium is north and northeast of France. Also, leman's answer to your post is correct. Circle #2 is indeed Belgium and #3 is Paris. The lights north of Circle #2 are cities in the Netherlands. Keep in mind that your photo is facing west or southwest, not north, so it makes it a bit confusing.

Here is a a satellite photo of the whole area with labels.

You are correct and LemansE90335xi is correct. I did a topo overlay. To think that I trusted a NASA description.... I hide my head in shame. Name:  bag.gif

Ahhh had some doubts about that being LeMans since I don't recall it as such a big city.
Been there a few times for the race 😄

No need to be in shame. I think admitting an error is a strength!

Shame is reserved for the a$$hats who make an incorrect post and when corrected, insist that they are still correct even in the face of hard evidence to the contrary, or worse yet, change their story to fit the actual situation.

All is well.

I have to respectfully disagree. Bring up the area on google earth and orient north to match the photo and I think you'll find the whole country of Belgium is glowing right to it's border.

Edit: I posted my response before following up on all the comments. Sorry for my haste.

Belgium is known for having a dense road network, and almost 100% of it covered by street lights that make it easy to spot from orbit.....

Drove from Amsterdam to Antwerp at night some years ago and we were amazed at how bright the highways were. Very nice!
