This Grand Bal is organized as part of the Brazil-France cultural season, a year of exchanges and discoveries during which the two countries share events, exhibitions, concerts and other exchanges to strengthen ties between the two countries.

The Grand Palais is offering a grand ball of friendship. In the magnificently restored Nave, revellers can dance to Brazilian rhythms, and enjoy salgadinhos, a Brazilian savoury delicacy.

The Grand Palais has invited Gabriel Haddad Gomes Porto and Leonardo Bora, stars of the art of carnival at the prestigious Acadêmicos do Grande Rio samba school, to set the mood and lead the dance. With their troupes of Brazilian dancers, these two artists promise us an incredible show!

Here is the provisional line-up for the evening:

• 8:30pm: Roda de Samba da Heloisa
• 9:00 pm: Cabaret Gandaïa (Bloco de Carnaval)
• 9:20pm: Capoeira para todes
