Show - Voiles de nuit

As in the past, the musical fireworks show will start at around 8pm, and will be preceded by a nautical parade in the outer harbor at around 6:30pm.

Voiles de Nuit, created and organized by the Grand Pavois Organisation association, has become a worldwide benchmark for pyro-digital shows, offering a unique and magical evening event. Sounds, lights and boats will plunge visitors into a magical ballet from 6:30pm, against the backdrop of the ramparts and towers of a town that has always looked to the sea. At around 8:00 pm, the town lights up for 45 minutes of magic and emotion.

The event will be produced by RUGGIERI, a long-standing partner of Voiles de Nuit, and directed by the internationally renowned David Proteau. Under the direction of Alain Pochon, President of the Grand Pavois Organisation association, Voiles de Nuit will once again combine land and sea, history and modernity, pyrotechnics and light projections, music and boats... An unforgettable spectacle of visual and sound performances, where over 30,000 visitors are expected!
