The Versailles Festival is a must with shows, concerts, exhibitions and events at the magnificent Palace of Versailles with a highlight being the famous Fountains Night Show where the gardens become ‘a land of astonishing sights and sounds’.
Jazz lovers must head for the Parc Floral to enjoy concerts at no charge! To enjoy music, theatre and the circus, head to the Luxembourg Gardens, Park de la Villette and Andre Citroen Park to celebrate the Paris Quartier d’Eté Festival. On a balmy night, visitors can enjoy outdoor cinema in different locations throughout the city.
