Grand Bal Viennois
With Debutants from Vienna and
Gastronomic Dinner
Hôtel Negresco
Saturday, March 8, 2025
Our next Club trip will be Vienna. As a kick-off to this trip, we will participate on March 8 in the Grand Bal Viennois organized by the prestigious and legendary Hôtel Negresco. A grand ball in the pure Viennese tradition. The reception will be held in the lounge in the center of the palace, under the large glass dome, classified as a historical monument and which is the soul of the Negresco hotel. Formerly a majestic ballroom, it will host a refined and exclusive show for one evening.
Preceded by a gala dinner prepared by Chef Virginie Basselot, Meilleur Ouvrier de France and one Michelin star, 16 couples of beginners straight from a Viennese dance school will open the ball. A soprano and a quartet from the Nice Opera will liven up the ball by performing Viennese arias, such as waltzes and the traditional midnight quadrille. And then, classic rock and other dances will also be offered. An unforgettable evening not to be missed.
Transport will be organized between Monaco and Nice for those who wish. A Valet Parking service will be at your disposal at the Negresco if you come with your own car.
