2. Festival d'Art Pyrotechnique

The Buzz -- Five countries strut their spectacular, sparkling and shooting to compete for the favor of eight eight judges over six nights between July and August. Each covet the Vestal d'Argent, or even better, the Vestal d'Or, which is only granted once every six years. For spectators, the brilliant displays shoot 300 meters over the bay and are reflected in its waters which magnify the sound, light and the musical accompaniment to stunning heights.
