Venetian weekend

SEE YOU ON 27 AND 28 SEPTEMBER 2025!

The Venetian weekend is an invitation to travel: visitors are transported into the magical atmosphere of the Venice carnival. As night falls, imagine the castle lit up, a lyrical concert and a hundred or so Venetians strolling through the park in illuminated costumes. It's a complete change of scenery, and it's also an opportunity to explore the estate under the stars and discover the castle on a unique night-time tour, before watching a magnificent fireworks display with sound effects!

A magical weekend out of time!
