The festive formula that made the Armada famous is back for 2027 — with a modern twist. Each evening, the Seine sky will light up with fireworks and drone shows above the masts.
Daytime brings free ship visits, the colourful sailors' parade through the streets, and the much-loved Grande Pagaille (the parade of ‘unidentified floating objects’). Free concerts are part of the tradition, though their exact format for 2027 is still being finalised.
