Ice sculptures on Place du Palais des Papes
The planned installation features around 17 sculptures, made from 26 tonnes of ice in a space of approximately 225 m². Choose this venue if you want to look closely at the sculptures and their lighting. The Palais des Glaces is a temporary event. It is separate from admission to the Palais des Papes monument and from the Paris theatre with the same name.
Rides and chalet stalls on Place Pie
Plans for Place Pie en Folie include rides, chalet stalls, a stage and food. A Ferris wheel, a small train and bumper cars are among the proposed attractions. Detailed arrangements are still to be confirmed. If you visit both squares, check each activity’s booking terms separately. No combined ticket has been announced.
Before you go
- Choose between looking at sculptures and taking part in rides.
- Check opening times before deciding which venue to visit first.
- Budget for the two venues separately until ticket details are confirmed.
