Presentation
A fancy dress evening in the Hall of Mirror
Thème of the 2024 edition : Madame du Barry
In your costume identical to those of the most beautiful periods of Versailles, you are invited to discover the refined and artistic atmosphere of the parties organised by Louis XIV, a timeless and unforgettable moment.
The gates of the Château open at 6:30pm. (car park, reception desk to collect your wristband and cloakroom) to welcome you with a glass of champagne and a thetrical tour of the Royal Opera.
From 7:30pm., wander freely through the Grands Appartements, where you will be entertained by sketches and demonstrations of the games that used to be played at the Sun King’s court. You will also attend two concerts.
Until 11:30pm., enjoy unlimited access to the buffet, with reserved tables and seats. You’ll also enjoy an exceptional moment, reserved exclusively for you.
From 11pm., you could enjoy the closing ball in the Hall of Mirrors. The evening will end with fireworks viewed from the Hall of Mirrors, as during the finest hours of Versailles.

Practical information
DRESS CODE: To preserve the magic of the Fêtes Galantes, you must come dressed in a quality baroque style costume and be wearing it when you arrive at the Palace (all guests must find their own costumes). No access will be granted to anyone not respecting the appropriate dress code.
You will potentially be filmed or photographed during this event. Château de Versailles Spectacles consider you abandon every appeal in case of use of those pictures for promotion of Fêtes Galantes.
