presentation

The Hôtel de la Marine invites you to a "Second Empire" ball!

Specialists in the reconstruction of historic balls, the members of the Carnet de Bals association will bring to life the magical atmosphere of the prestigious receptions that once enlivened the monument.

These enthusiasts take over the cour d'honneur for demonstrations and participatory dances, where everyone can get carried away on the dance floor; and the state rooms, for refined dance demonstrations in a sumptuous setting.

how to attend the ball

There are two ways to enjoy the ball:

  • In the cour d'honneur, attend the free demonstrations and join the dancers on the dance floor for participatory dances.
  • In the state rooms, after a tour of the monument(see prices), admire the demonstrations in an exceptional setting.
