From Louis XIV to the present day, the Château de Versailles has seen many memorable parties and evenings. On June 30, 1923, to celebrate the completion of its restoration, the monument organized a "Fête Merveilleuse", which left a lasting impression. A century later, how about a repeat performance?
This Monday, December 11, 2023, the Château de Versailles invites us to take part in its Bal du Siècle. From waltzes of the late 19th century to contemporary songs, foxtrot, tango, Charleston and American jig, get ready to set the dancefloor alight, and spend a magical evening in the Galerie des Batailles.
Line dances, group or couple dances, romantic and festive rhythms: whatever your style, you should find something to enjoy. And if you're not quite up to speed with the music of yesteryear, don't panic: professional dancers will give you a demonstration before each dance!
We can see you rushing to the dance floor, but don't forget to take a stroll around the castle too: entertainment awaits you in the monument's key areas. Dance performances in the Galerie des Glaces, comedians and games in the Grands Appartements de la Reine, a short concert by the Royal Opera Orchestra... Not forgetting, of course, the fireworks display that lights up the gardens, to be admired from the famous Galerie des Glaces.
Depending on your ticket, you have access to a number of additional activities. Ruby and Diamond visitors can discover the Attiques du Midi, rooms usually closed to the public, and populated on this evening by funny comedians...
A buffet is served throughout the evening. Champagne is offered freely to Ruby and Diamond visitors during the ball. After midnight, it's time for more contemporary rhythms and music, with a wildly modern after-party.
An evening of dancing at the Château de Versailles, complete with fireworks and live entertainment: how could you miss it? See you on the dance floor!
