Do you dream of reliving the refined and artistic atmosphere of the evening entertainments organized by King Louis XIV, dressed in a costume similar to those worn during Versailles finest periods?

Would you like to try baroque dancing and learn with the best dancers? What about performing a magnificent dance with them in the Hall of Mirrors? Would you like to go from the intimate music of a baroque drawing room to the religious atmosphere of the Chapelle Royale, after passing through the Salon dHercule, where dancers are celebrating the minuet?

The second edition of the Versailles Ftes Galantes will delight you in every way!

During this exceptional evening, the most beautiful rooms of the palace will open their doors for an evening inspired by the glorious times of the Sun King, for your enjoyment and with the finest fare.
