Fêtes et Feux Prestations

What Fêtes et Feux Prestations does

Fêtes et Feux Prestations is a French pyrotechnic event-production company founded in 1983 and headquartered in Paris (15th arrondissement), with additional regional agencies in Annecy (Savoie) and Nogent-le-Rotrou (Eure-et-Loir). The company designs and executes custom fireworks displays — baroque-inspired ground-level shows, contemporary aerial shells, and pyromusical spectacles choreographed to client-selected music — alongside a suite of add-on offerings that include indoor and outdoor special effects (cold sparks, giant fire letters, confetti, flames, fog), acrobatic and multimedia shows featuring live performers, outdoor illuminations of gardens and monuments using candles, projectors and lasers, and water-wall and fountain-illumination spectacles. A complementary retail line of terracotta, glass, and aluminum candles and verrines is sold in 12–48 unit packs. Revenue mechanics rest on bespoke project quotes tied to event duration, site size, guest count, and pyrotechnic product mix; individual event budgets typically fall within €3,000–€5,000 while corporate and municipal command contracts of materially higher value. All ~120 team members hold the F4-T2 professional certification issued by the French prefecture — the highest qualification required to commercially handle and discharge fireworks in France — and the firm files prefecture authorizations on behalf of clients, embedding regulatory handling into its delivery model.

The go-to-market is direct, inside-sales led: initial contact by phone, email, or website form triggers an on-site consultation with the responsible principal and a designer, after which a single point of contact manages the project from conception through firing and post-event cleanup. Customers span three primary segments — Particuliers (private weddings and family celebrations), Professionnels (PMEs and corporates for anniversaries, launches, galas), and Collectivités (French municipalities and event committees for national holiday and town-festival programming) — with a secondary anchor segment in amusement parks served under 35+ year relationships. The portfolio of named venues — Château de Versailles, Fête du lac d'Annecy, Lyon 14 July celebrations, Abbaye de Royaumont, and Doha, Qatar — supports a top-of-funnel event-marketing motion. Internationally, mobile teams service corporate and private events across Spain, Italy, Switzerland, India and Qatar. The company is organized as a privately held SAS (Société par Actions Simplifiée) under principal Bertrand Julhès, with no disclosed external investment, parent, or M&A activity in the available record.
