An imperial night at The Invalides

On the occasion of an evening dedicated to its partners, AG2R entrusted the agency WATO with the organization of an imperial event at Les Invalides.

To celebrate the incomparable history of the site, the agency imagined a unique immersive experience, highlighting the Empire period thanks to the participation of Napoleonic re-enactment associations.

On the program:

Welcome of the guests at the Grille d’Honneur by an actor in Empire uniform, two mounted chasseurs and a group of musicians.

Presentation of a safe-conduct pass by General Pierre Gérard, allowing free wandering through this place steeped in history.

Vivandières and soldiers set the rhythm throughout the tour.

Ascent to the reception hall punctuated by eight drummers, offering a spectacular transition before the final welcome by the Empire general.

Inside the Salon d’Honneur, a pianist in Empire costume provided an elegant and solemn atmosphere.

Speech by Sandrine Levasseur to warmly thank the partners present.

Intervention by Yann Garvêthe, director of the museum, who came to share his career as well as several exclusive anecdotes about the history of Les Invalides.

As a grand finale, all the reenactors performed Le Chant du Départ, concluding the evening on a vibrant and imperial note.
