Versailles' annual masquerade is finally here this year!
Grand Masked Ball is a grand "masked ball" held in the Palace of Versailles once a year in June, in this rare feast, gorgeous 18th century costumes, exquisite headdresses and masks, the lively scene of royal parties.
If you just want to feel the Versailles Palace of Versailles, but do not want to go to too many restaurants, it is highly recommended to go directly to the court ball at night, and it is not cost-effective to go all the way during the day, because the court ball can also enter the Hall of mirrors at night and fewer people than during the day, more comfortable. And before and after entering the Hall of mirrors will be interspersed through the palace interior corridor, you can also slowly walk to visit. (I just feel that a lot of the original furniture has been removed and repaired, and the overall home decoration is not Versailles at all, compared with the Louvre Napoleon III suite!)
Secondly, in the mural hall, tourists can not enter the daily just separate, can only shoot in the periphery, but the evening dance time is allowed to go in, and you can also watch actors perform and sing.
It is recommended to buy 53€set of party tickets, that is, the dance ➕ garden can enter, wait until sunset to visit the garden is not sun-bathed and there are fountain lights, I am lucky just in France's National Day in Versailles Palace and fireworks show to see, heard that as long as the summer court ball will have fireworks show.
Take me back to an 18th century royal party. It really is like a scene out of a movie. Everyone dresses up and makes up.
The history of masquerades at Versailles dates back to 1745, when the son of King Louis XV of France married a Spanish princess. This dress ball also marks the beginning of Louis XV's love affair with Madame de Pombadour. A masquerade will once again grace the exquisite royal palace......
