Before the big moment, everyone can find something to eat from the cluster of food-trucks and gourmet stalls gathered for the occasion. Grills, fish & chips, crepes or churros at Le Kitchn, artisanal bagels and fresh salads with Ma cuisine mobile, cotton candy from the Scouts et Guides de France or ice creams and sorbets from Courtisane : the evening is a feast for the palate as much as a sight to behold. The children, meanwhile, can hop aboard a 1900-style carousel, whose wooden horses echo the festive atmosphere of days gone by.

At 11 p.m., the gaze shifts from the stalls to the Grand Miroir basin. It’s there that 250 luminous drones and pyrotechnic effects will come to life in From the Earth to the Moon. Across the scenes, the show dives into humanity’s enduring fascination with the sky—from the earliest dreams of flight to the adventures of space. Between drone-drawn constellations and bursts of light in the night, Marly-le-Roi promises a high-spirited evening to launch the summer season.
