presentation

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

Specialists in reconstructing historic balls, the members of the Carnet de Bals association 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 let themselves be swept along on the dance floor; and the state rooms, for dance demonstrations in a sumptuous setting.

how to attend the ball

There are two ways to enjoy the ball:

  • In the main courtyard, outside, watch the demonstrations free of charge and join the dancers on the dance floor for participatory dances.
  • In the state rooms inside the monument, after a tour of the monument, admire the demonstrations in an exceptional setting. Access to the ball in the state rooms is included in the monument's admission ticket: see prices.

PLEASE NOTE: No participatory dancing is allowed inside the monument.
