It is a great show of falconry and medieval impregnation, in the historic, high and green setting of the ramparts, where fascinating birds of prey (eagles, buzzards, falcons, owls, caracaras and vultures) soar overhead in several scenes, in harmony with the majestic horses. This enchantment transports you to the world of falconry as it existed in the medieval West, the Near East and the steppes of Central Asia. The show is fascinating. A must see!

This landmark event of the year is an unhoped-for opportunity to take a behind-the-scenes look at the treasures of French heritage. During this magical night, the city's museums and monuments awaken.

Everyone knows the principle of these very popular kiosks, and for good reason: they allow you to go to the show for significantly reduced prices. The kiosk in Place des Ternes, which must be clearly distinguished from the flower merchants in the square, is open from Tuesday to Saturday, but be careful, plan to go as early as possible for two reasons: you could have the best prices, and then keep in mind that Place des Ternes is slightly off-centre, and that you could take a little time to reach your cultural place.
