A Night at Invalides, a show about the history of Paris until 30th August 2019

La Nuit aux Invalides (A Night at Invalides) is back with 45 minutes of HD projections and music telling the story of Paris from the days of the Gauls up to the present day…

The freshly restored monumental courtyard at Les Invalides is impressive during the day, but at night, illuminated by the latest 4K laster projectors, it is absolutely magical.

It’s in this incredible setting that la Nuit aux Invalides proposes to take you on a journey through time to discover the history of Lutèce (which went on to become Paris) as you have never experienced it before, with a carefully-crafted 45-minute show.

The three walls used for the projections – recently renovated – have 5,000m² of space in all, the images come from ten video-projectors for a super-sharp image (15 teraoctets of data!), and there’s 360° surround sound for a completely immersive experience.

While the French narration is provided by famous French actors, the story is also available in English or Spanish (for a supplement of 5,30€).

And if you download the SnapPress app (for iOS and Android) you can scan the poster for the event and enjoy a mini-show in augmented reality!
