Zorro
Zorro the Musical

This story of good versus evil has been a source of enduring fascination and has been the subject of a best selling novel and several major motion pictures. This new musical promises to retell the dramatic tale of a romantic hero with extraordinary aerial acrobatics, spectacular sword-fighting and incredible magic – all set to the famous red-hot Gipsy King beat brought to the stage with the authentic colours of traditional Flamenco music.

Versailles musical water shows
Grandes eaux musicales

Every year, from spring to automn, the stately park of the Versailles Castel hosts the "Grandes Eaux Musicales".
Come discover and rediscover this delightful show !
The strollers will enjoy wandering around this majestic garden that Louis the XIV relished, and refreshingly walking around the ponds and precious foutains, made, for some hours, as splendid and rich as they were in the XVIIth century, by the ancient craft of hydrant men. Cascades, water jets, water spears and gurgling waters will loom out in an aquatic and transparent ballet, accompanied by music.
