Presentation
A fancy dress evening in the Hall of Mirrors — 10th Anniversary Edition.
To celebrate this 10th anniversary edition, we will be paying tribute to Marie-Antoinette, the undisputed personification of Versailles partying and entertainment !
And to prolong the experience even further, we will be hosting a second gala the night before at the Trianon Estate… Immerse yourself in a captivating weekend of Versailles soirées, filled with everything from royal pomp to delightful intimacy !
Don your most magnificent period costumes and embark on a timeless, unique and unforgettable journey into the colourful world of the last queen of France.
You will be welcomed in the Marble Courtyard with a glass of champagne, to the beat of kettledrums and trumpets. You will then wander throught the Grand Apartments, where sketches, historical games and demonstrations will transport you back to the splendour of the Sun King’s court festivities, amidst the elegant, artistic atmosphere of the famed “Soirée d’Apartements”.
Make your selection at the time of purchase and enjoy two exclusive activities setting the tones for your evening, before rejoining the Grand Ball held in the stunning Hall of Mirrors at 11 p.m.
A spectacular fireworks display lighting up the gardens of Versailles will serve as the perfect finale to this night of royal splendour.
