THE NIGHT FOUNTAINS SHOW
Presentation
Every Saturday evening in summer, the Royal Gardens of Château de Versailles are decked out in thousands of lights and invite you to take a journey through time to the rhythm of the Sun King’s music.
A magical walk to discover the fountains and a dazzling finale of fireworks for all ages !
The Night Fountains Shows, a unique opportunity to stroll through the groves, usually closed to the public, and admire the fountains brought to life with water and light. Rediscover the greatest arias of baroque music from Lully to Charpentier, from Gluck to Rameau as you stroll. A unique and magical experience.
A two-and-a-half-hour walk filled with amazement and surprises, culminating in magnificent compositions of water jets and cascades of light at the Bassin de Neptune, the largest pool in the gardens of Château de Versailles.
For the grand finale of the evening, the pyrotechnics experts from Groupe F, world famous in their field, will present a show of royal fireworks on the Grand Perspective in the park !
