With at least 11 displays of pyrotechnic spectacles designed by some of the top firework display designers in the world - there are strict rules as in any serious competition - some elements against prescribed music, some silent, some freestyle - all against the backdrop of the historic Chateau, its lakes and formal gardens.

The spectacular Nights of Fire sees the sky come alight with an incredible pyrotechnics show. Taking place within the grounds of the beautiful Chateau de Chantilly, this is far more than just a fireworks display and is guaranteed to wow young and old alike.
