A magical, timeless weekend

The Venetian weekend is an invitation to travel: visitors are transported into the magical atmosphere of the Venice Carnival. At nightfall, imagine the castle lit up, a lyrical concert and a hundred Venetians strolling through the park in illuminated costumes.

The change of scenery is complete, and it is also an opportunity to explore the estate under the stars and discover the castle during a unique night-time tour, before watching a magnificent fireworks display set to music!

The Venetians who parade are exclusively members of the Art Fusion association.

Please note

If the weather forecast proves inaccurate, in the event of rain and due to the fragility of the costumes, the parade will not take place and the evening will unfortunately be cancelled.

Important

Spectators are not allowed to wear Venetian costumes.
