The Grandes Eaux Nocturnes at the Château de Versailles is an unmissable event in the Île-de-France region. Every year, this event enchanting summer evenings offers a magical night-time stroll through the sublime gardens designed by André Le Nôtre. We discover an enchanted place with illuminated fountains that enchant us as we cross the groves, immersing ourselves in the spirit of the Versailles festivities of the time of the Sun King. The program includes lighting and pyrotechnic installations that reveal themselves to us as we stroll along this dreamlike promenade, for a marvellous evening that ends with a fireworks display.
The event takes place every Saturday evening from June 8 to September 21, 2024, as well as on June 28, 2024 for the 90th anniversary of the French Air Force, on July 14, 2024 for the Fête Nationale, on August 15 for the Nocturnes de Feu and its 600 drones, and on September 21, 2024 for the Nocturne Electro. On these evenings, the gardens of the Château deVersailles will sparkle with light and water effects.
To coincide with the Olympic Equestrian Games, the gardens of Versailles are pulling out all the stops from July 27 to September 7. During 6 exceptional nights, on July 27, August 3, 9, 11 and 31, and September 7, a drone show adds to the magic of the event. Imagine a choreographed sweep of 500 drones to enhance the finale of an evening already rich in discoveries.
A magical stroll of 2h30 awaits you in the sumptuous gardens of the Château de Versailles, set to water, music and light.
