Presentation

The Grand Masked Ball : a night of revelry and spectacle until dawn

Dress to impress in your finest Baroque costume and, of course, your essential mask : the Grand Masked Ball of Versailles returns for its 15th edition at the Orangery of the Palace of Versailles. Dancers, performers and artists transport you to a fantastical world where Baroque elegance meets the energy of the club scene.

An Immersive Experience in the Heart of the Palace of Versailles

From the moment you arrive, immerse yourself in the unique atmosphere of the Grand Masked Ball. Wander through the gardens of the Palace of Versailles and descend the breathtaking Hundred Steps staircase to reach the vast nave of the Orangery. Magnificent settings, extravagant costumes and spectacular artistic performances set the stage for an extraordinary night.

Blending music, live performances and all-night revelry, this contemporary ball breaks with convention and reimagines tradition in an exceptional historic setting.

Keep the Party Going in the Gardens of Versailles

As night gives way to the first light of dawn, the Grand Masked Ball continues in one final spectacular setting : the Ballroom Grove, nestled in the heart of the gardens of the Palace of Versailles. Make the most of this unique experience with an extraordinary after-party featuring a DJ set and breakfast.
