On Saturday, November 26th, 2022, a sparkling light will illuminate the long Parisian winter night: for a dreamy moment, come and discover the wonders of the École Normale Supérieure during its traditional nocturnal Gala! The evening will take place in the historic building at 45 rue d'Ulm, adorned of its most sumptuous attire.

The red carpet will be rolled out for everyone, and it won't be easy to choose among the plethora of activities, artistic events, and gatherings to take part in!

To people of all ages, the ENS dance clubs will offer initiations to waltz, rock or other ballroom dances. Numerous concerts, shows and exhibitions will be spread throughout this extraordinary evening, from the dazzling dance show to the professional jazz concert, without forgetting the DJ mixing set and the unpredictable improvisation cabaret.

La Nuit probably has more facets than there are stars to light it, and will amaze you with countless surprises for the five senses that will transcend this endless winter: a great buffet, a choir, a fanfare, exhibitions, tastings, a show of laser lights,... merry festivities!

Feel free to have a look at the full planning below!

Pre-sales will open on Tuesday, November 1st at 45 rue d'Ulm, in the main hall from 12:00 to 14:00 and at the COF office. An online ticketing service will also open on this date.

The buffet, which will be partly vegetarian, is prepared by the ENS foodie club, and by a pastry school. Be careful though, buffet entries are limited, so book your ticket quickly !

Student price also concerns students outside the ENS!

Bars: WARNING: it will only be possible to pay by cash at the bars, so withdraw cash if you need it before entering the Gala.

Entry and exit: It will not be possible to enter the Gala after 2AM. Be careful : if you exit the Gala, you will not be allowed to enter again.

Checkroom: A free checkroom will be available at the Pôt all night long and plaids will be at disposal.

Catering: The buffet requires prior registration, with a limited number of seats. A foodtruck will also be present all evening in the libraries' courtyard to sell food. Bringing your own food is not allowed.

Drinks: In the barnum and in the basement of the libraries' building, bars will be selling champagne, wine and fruit juice all night long. Beer and cider will also be available in K-Fêt. It is forbidden to bring your own drinks, whether they contain alcohol or not.

Souvenir photos: A photo booth will be present in the war memorial throughout the evening.

Dresscode: Regarding the tricky issue of clothing, our motto is "be comfortable!" Gala attire is entirely appropriate for the situation: the majority of participants will be wearing suits or evening gowns, and raving about everyone's gorgeous outfits is part of the wonder of the Gala. So this is your chance to get out your best clothes, but the most important thing is to come as you feel like: in evening clothes, in everyday clothes or even disguised. In a word, feel comfortable in your outfit!
