It’s like Bastille Day, but with just 6°C ! ❄️

The French love a good old popular ball, generally on 14th July for our national holiday, but this year you’ll be able to take part in one in December. Three free ‘bals populaires’ are being organised Place de la Concorde to get you warmed up for New Year’s Eve no doubt!

Each evening, up to 500 people will be able to fill the 450m² dancefloor house in a transparent tent. There definitely won’t be enough room for everyone, so we would advise you to get down there early (it opens at 7pm) if you want to strut your stuff until 1am. ?

If you get peckish, food trucks will be on hand for you to get your street food fix. And if the tent is already full when you arrive, why not walk five minutes to the Grand Palais and go ice skating instead?

The end of year bals populaires are being held on Place de la Concorde (here) on 28th, 29th & 30th December 2018

Open from 7pm-1am

Free!
