An imperial night at the Invalides

On the occasion of an evening dedicated to its partners, AG2R La Mondiale entrusted the WATO agency with the organisation of an elegant event.

In order to make it an unforgettable night, it was at the prestigious Hôtel National des Invalides that we chose to organise this event on the theme of the Empire.

Actors, horses, drums everything was brought together to make this evening a true journey through time.

On the programme:

Immersive welcome of the guests at the Grille d’Honneur by an actor in Empire uniform, three horsemen and a group of musicians.

Presentation of a personalised safe-conduct pass by Captain Gérard, allowing guests to wander freely through this place steeped in history.

Crossing the immense corridors of Les Invalides illuminated to the rhythm of epic music.

Encounter with vivandières and brigades of grenadiers on watch.

Thunderous ascent of the Orient staircase to the sound of eight Guard drummers.

Pianist in grenadier costume for a touch of convivial music.

Speech by Sandrine Levasseur to warmly thank the partners present.

Inspiring speech by Army Corps General Yann Garvêthe, director of the Army 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.
