Already the 5th edition for the Night of Castles! Imagined by the start-up Dartagnans in 2019, this event gathers tens of thousands of amazed visitors every year. Timeless, it offers visits in exceptional locations spread across 60 French departments, as well as in Switzerland, Belgium, Spain and, for the first time this year, in the Czech Republic. This year, it will take place on Friday, October 27 and Saturday, October 28 for certain monuments, with celebrations continuing on Sunday, October 29!
Wonderful events all over France and Belgium
This year, the different castles are going all out to give you a complete immersion in their universe! "Some monuments will open their doors to the public for the first time, others will offer unique experiences at the heart of heritage. On this eve of the All Saints' Day holidays, there will be something for everyone, for all eras, and for young and old alike!"
