Merveilles is about to drop a slice of France right in Melbourne's heart, and you won't need a passport.

Scheduled for October 23 and 24 at the Melbourne Convention & Exhibition Centre, this two-night event promises 2,700 square metres of immersive experiences that will transport attendees to Paris. Think of it as stepping into a living painting of the Hall of Mirrors at Versailles or the romantic rooftops of Montmartre, complete with breathtaking lighting installations and live artistic performances.

The event celebrates three decades of French electronic music, featuring artists like Tchami, Tigerlily, and Fred B Side. As the French Touch transforms dance floors globally, Merveilles aims to create a multi-sensory journey that combines music and immersive environments, bringing a little magic to Melbourne.

Tickets are set at $99, and with such a rich artistic experience promised, it’s a price worth paying for a night out that feels like a mini-vacation in France. Get ready to dance through the immersive worlds that will unfold around you, and celebrate the vibrant legacy of French electronic music—no jet lag required.
