Our take on this event
Dust off your most elegant historical attire and prepare to whirl through a legendary Parisian landmark. Whether you are a ballroom dance pro or simply eager to soak up the Victorian vibes, these recurring masquerade balls offer a perfect escape into the past. Join the graceful dancefloor celebrations planned throughout the upcoming seasons.
The Hôtel de la Marine hosts a series of monthly costume balls running through December 2026. Designed for participants between 35 and 80 years old, these events explore various dance styles, ranging from the Victorian era to the Second Empire. Whether you wear a period costume or contemporary attire, you are encouraged to join the festivities in this historic Parisian setting. Access is available for wheelchair users, ensuring an inclusive atmosphere for all guests. Please note that advance booking is strictly required to secure your spot and receive meeting point details for your selected session.
Located at 2 place de la Concorde, the Hôtel de la Marine organizes three dance events leading up to the end of 2026. The schedule includes a general dance session on October 30 (16:00 to 21:00), an early 20th-century themed event on November 27 (14:00 to 18:00), and a Dickens-inspired Christmas ball on December 18 (16:00 to 20:30).
Tickets are priced at 17 euros and offer two ways to enjoy the experience. You may choose to dance in the main courtyard, where interactive sessions allow everyone to join the movement, or opt for a visit to the state rooms. This second option includes a self-guided tour of the monument and a chance to observe the dancers from within the luxurious interior. Each event concludes with a social hour featuring refreshments and dinner.
Attendance is limited to the 35 to 80 age range. The venue is fully accessible to wheelchair users. Because specific meeting points are assigned based on your chosen activity, reservations must be made in advance.
