To celebrate Bastille Day, a display of 1,495 drones illuminated the skies over Disneyland Paris, portraying icons of French culture such as the colors of the French flag, the Eiffel Tower, and the iconic rose window of Notre Dame Cathedral in Paris.

The event also paid tribute to Disney and Pixar classics with French connections, including Lumiere from Beauty and the Beast, Parisian skyline including Moulin Rouge, The Hunchback of Notre Dame, The Aristocats, and Ratatouille, incorporating patterns and colors.

The record-breaking nighttime show is the result of a successful collaboration spanning over four months between Disneyland Paris’ entertainment teams and Dronisos, the official technology supplier based in Bordeaux and a leading provider of drone shows in Europe.

The 10+ minute Bastille Day show featured 1,495 drones, a record breaking first for Drone shows in Europe.

This is not the first show Disneyland Paris has collaborated with Dronisos on. Both have previously created the award-winning nighttime spectacular Disney D-Light, available until 30 September 2023 as part of the 30th Anniversary Grand Finale, as well as Avengers: Power the Night, set to return at Walt Disney Studios Park from 1 September to 5 November, 2023.
