The Flight of the Eagle: the Napoleonic epic brought to light
This year marks the bicentenary of the death of Napoleon Bonaparte and the creators of the Nuit aux Invalides could not help but be inspired by this theme. Thus was born a 50-minute show, The Flight of the Eagle, retracing the journey of this multifaceted and emblematic historical figure from his personal life to his achievements and military heritage. The technology used, its multi-channel sound and latest generation laser projectors create an extraordinary immersive experience and enhance the magnificent and elegant facades of the building.
