Augustodunum, les chevaux de légendes

Art and shows, Dance, Dinner Show in Autun
  • An equestrian show in the heart of the ancient theatre!

  • We're in Augustodunum, and the ancient city is abuzz with excitement. Before sunset, the city's inhabitants are invited by the notables to honour the god Neptune to celebrate the city's horses and avoid the summer drought! The god of horses and water, Neptune will be at the heart of a beautiful ceremony, with dances, sword fights and, above all, amazing and breathtaking equestrian games. The programme promises to be a rich one, with a parade of flower horses, acrobatics, a moving scene...
    We're in Augustodunum, and the ancient city is abuzz with excitement. Before sunset, the city's inhabitants are invited by the notables to honour the god Neptune to celebrate the city's horses and avoid the summer drought! The god of horses and water, Neptune will be at the heart of a beautiful ceremony, with dances, sword fights and, above all, amazing and breathtaking equestrian games. The programme promises to be a rich one, with a parade of flower horses, acrobatics, a moving scene between man and horse, and the grand finale, the chariot race, where the public will have to cheer on their favourite chariot by waving the right coloured cloth! The population of Augustodunum will flock to this event, and miraculously Neptune will appear to close the show with pyrotechnic magic, once the sun has disappeared... for a moving finale combining humans and horses... A great imaginary show, family-friendly, spectacular, funny and moving, not to be missed!

    The show takes place just before dark, and closes with a pyrotechnic show at sunset.
