Presentation

On Saturday 23 November, the ENS will be decked out in pink : for one night only, come and discover the wonders of the École Normale Supérieure at its traditional nocturnal Gala! It's sure to be a thrilling evening, as you sail through the historic building at 45 rue d'Ulm, decked out in its most sumptuous finery.

The red carpet is waiting for you! Good luck choosing from the wide range of activities, artistic events and meetings on offer!

For the curious, the ENS dance clubs will be putting on a colourful show, followed by introductions to waltz and rock. A whole host of concerts, shows and exhibitions await you on this extraordinary evening, from the dazzling brass band concert to that of the School's groups, not forgetting the DJ mixing set and the unpredictable improvisation cabaret.

La Nuit probably has more facets than there are stars to illuminate it, and has countless surprises in store for all five senses, enough to warm up the coming early winter: a huge buffet, choirs, karaoke, exhibitions, tastings... there's plenty of variety to make this an unforgettable night!
