Summer ball at the petit palais
Summary
The time between the Second Empire 1852-1870 and La Belle Epoque 1871-1914 are being relived as people in original costumes and dresses dance and immerse themselves in history on the ballroom floor of the Petit Palais. The evening is an homage to The House of Worth, the founding house of French haute couture, and coincides with the exposition in the Palace 'Worth: Inventing Haute Couture’.
