Augustodunum 2026 : Le rêve du Roi

Come and experience a grandiose show with hundreds of costumed characters.
AUGUSTODUNUM, the King's dream... Plunges you into a dazzling historical epic, from antiquity to the Renaissance, where sound and light combine to reveal the splendour of Autun.
Chariot races, gladiatorial combat, dances, fire scenes, chivalry tournaments and a parade of acrobats set the energetic pace of this new show, which ends with the triumphant arrival of King François 1st in Autun, the French Rome.
Finally, the skies over Autun are set ablaze by a magical firework display to round off an unforgettable evening.

Grandstands open at 8pm and the show starts at around 10pm.
We recommend arriving before 9.30pm.
