La Nuit des Fignos (Grand Gala des Arts et Métiers Bordeaux-Talence) has been a flagship event for the school for 57 years. Every year, this evening event welcomes around 4,000 guests to Hangar 14, located on the quays of Bordeaux.
The Fignos Gala is a flagship project for engineering students, which takes place at the beginning of the year. In organizing it, everyone develops technical or managerial skills, which are valuable assets for their future careers. Above all, however, students learn to be as effective as possible by developing a team spirit.
The organization of this event mobilizes 11th and 12th grade students for five months. They prepare the 5,000 m² spread over two floors of Hangar 14. To do this, each student contributes to the management of this exceptional project, decorating the rooms, installing electrical systems and lighting, anddecorate the rooms, install electrical and lighting systems, create sculptures or paintings, clean the premises and carpets, and organizing the management of the cloakrooms and beverage service.
This year's theme is "Mythologies of the World": four different atmospheres will be created, decorated in the colors of Aztec, Egyptian, Norse, and Greek mythology. This year, Etienne de Crécy and Bellaire, two famous French DJs, will be hosting the evening.
