When night falls, the gardens turn into the setting for a musical and visual transformation, reminiscent of the many festivities organized by the Sun King. Guided by the sound of baroque music discover the illuminated groves and the glorious final fireworks display.
This year, once again, lighting and scenographic artists will be taking over the gardens, introducing thousands of lights and some astonishing installations: the ghostly wreck of Louis XIV's flagship, the Soleil Royal, re-emerging from the waves, laser beams streaking the night sky, the spectacular crushing of the giant Encelade.
Parade Design will roll out a graceful and other-worldly trail through the Bosquet de la Girandole and the Bosquet du Dauphin. A magic night !
