From November 28, 2026 to January 3, 2027, the royal fortress of Chinon, in Indre-et-Loire, is transformed into a land of fairies for Christmas, with enchanted scenes, magical forest decorations and photographs of the famous Cottingley fairies.
From November 28, 2026 to March 7, 2027, the Royal Abbey of Fontevraud, in Maine-et-Loire, experiences an artists' Christmas, including a festive wax table by Mona Oren, a hand-crafted Neapolitan nativity scene, polyphonies by Les Arts Florissants, and snow mapping on the abbey's facade.
This year, the castles are sitting down to a feast. Gargantua is feasting at Chambord, Cheverny is setting up its tables even on its facade, Fontevraud is sculpting a wax banquet and Versailles is reliving the splendor of Marie-Antoinette… From November 14, 2026 to March 7, 2027, from the Loire to the Île-de-France, thirteen castles and royal abbeys are celebrating Christmas with tales, lights and wonders.
