Venice invites itself to Remiremont for 4 days of magic!
From March 21 to 24, 2024, in a highlighted architecture, the city of Chanoinesses hosts the 27th edition of the event.
During these four days of Venetian Magic, the streets and squares of the city are invaded by costumed people! Comedians of el Arte, Poudrés and Eccentrics perform in public for a grand opera. Street orchestras, sound, sound and light: everything is staged in the city so that the costumed expose themselves to the gaze of amazed visitors.
The atmosphere is made up of dreams, smiles, elegance, sweetness... But beware, the costumed don't talk! In Remiremont, silence is golden. It is indeed Venice that invites itself to Remiremont through the intermediary of the mask and the artistic costume. Visitors take part in languorous walks in costume. All the animations are free.
