Candlelight evening
from 7 pm until midnight!

Saturday 6th June 2026

At sunset, shadows triumph little by little – conjured by thousands of candles. At nightfall, our candlelight evening will recapture the magic and poetry of previous years…
Come and enjoy the romantic melodies of the pianist installed in the château, the lively brass music that will warm up the esplanade, the Maniolya duet in front of the château, lounge & deep melodic house at the Allée des Arches, a show of Indian dances on the Esplanade and, of course, a candle-making workshop for children…
