As the year-end festivities settle in all around the Gironde, Talence decides to open a dreamlike interlude: three dazzling free nights where water, music, and light displays transform the park into a scene of sheer beauty.
The journey begins with The Enchanted Canal, where nature blends with delicate light installations, inviting leisurely strolls reminiscent of the charming alleys by Italy's canals. In The Venetian Garden, the atmosphere thickens: twinkling candles, trees draped in colors, and garlands weaving a starlit sky. Mysterious costumed characters emerge from a veil of mist, echoing the noble figures of the carnival.

An Unprecedented Water Ballet in Front of the Castle
The highlight of the event: The Venetian Water Ball. Facing the majestic facade of the Peixotto Castle, hundreds of water jets rise, cross paths, waltz, and create shapes in a meticulously choreographed display to the music of Rondo Veneziano. Arabesques, luminous pyramids, aquatic alcoves… The water becomes a dancer, and the park turns into an opera stage.
Multiple Scenes to Take You on a Journey
Visitors will then pass through: the Palines di Venezia, colorful poles symbolizing the Venetian canals, the Grand Arcades, the Metamorphoses in Masquerade, a giant mask that transforms with playful colors and textures, the Island of Sparkling Fountains, a theater of shimmering silver waterfalls, and the Luminous Reeds that…
borders the path leading to the castle.Each installation blends poetry, technology, and heritage, creating an immersive stroll designed to inspire dreams for all generations.
