Every first weekend of June, the Médoc seaside resort swaps its jeans and bicycles for corsets, straw hats, vintage cars, and shadow puppets. Soulac 1900 returns all weekend for a delightful dive into the heart of the Belle Époque, featuring steam trains, street performances, free concerts, and a festive atmosphere.

A Journey Through Time… in Costume
The magic begins as soon as you arrive: carriages stroll through the streets, marching bands bring the squares to life, while visitors – often in costume – embrace the vibes of a carefree era. Feather boas, lace, parasols, and three-piece suits transport Soulac into a postcard-perfect setting.
