Among the celebrations organized around the world, the Romanov Celebration Gala took place in Paris on 5 October 2013 at the Chateau of Chantilly. The event was hosted by Maria Vladimirovna of Russia, Head of the House of Romanov and was presided by her son and heir Grand Duke George Mikhailovich; held with the participation of some Romanov descendants, foreign Royalty and nobility, international business and cultural elite at one of France's most historical venues with the finest second collection of paintings after the Louvre Museum. The chateau hosted three official Imperial visits of the Russian Emperors.

On the occasion France, which has a long tradition and respect in the Russian history and culture welcomed the guests coming from the fields of business, media, diplomacy, art and sports from Europe, Ukraine and Russia to spend the exclusive weekend in Paris and live the get-together time paying a tribute to the Romanov and sharing the emotions of the celebration with luxury leading names and VIP celebrities. Deriving from the Russian imperial traditions of splendid balls, masquerades and other entertainment for aristocrats, the event supported images of Russia and Ukraine on the international arena as the countries which take care of their heritage and therefore, future of their nations.
