With over 40,000 spectators last year, the show offers a unique fairytale experience, guiding us through a journey where we follow the characters throughout the story. From the passage under the castle tunnel, through the busy kitchens, the huge dining room where dinner is about to be served, to the ballroom, the immersion is total, and you live the show to the full, all the more so as groups are limited to a maximum of 40 people, allowing you to immerse yourself completely in this magical fairy tale.

This year's new features include a new ball with new music and choreography to discover (but shhh, wait until you find out for yourself!). From November 9 to December 15, 2024, the show runs Fridays from 6:30pm to 11pm, Saturdays from 9am to 11pm, Sundays from 9am to 9:30pm. The show lasts one hour, with departures every ten minutes.

Are you ready for a magical adventure in the heart of the Château de Maisons-Laffitte?
