A garden party to kick off the festivities
The time travel adventure begins at 3 PM with the Pompadour's enchanted garden. This garden party worthy of celebrations from days gone by will unfold throughout the entire estate and combine artistic strolls, entertainment for young and old alike, and even equestrian performances. You'll also have the chance to enjoy creative workshops and grab a bite to eat on-site — for a small extra fee.

A Masked and Costumed Evening
The bravest among you will don their finest period attire and especially their masks for the masquerade taking place from 7pm to midnight. This masked ball will take place inside the castle. Get ready for an exceptional evening, set to music, with the chance to join in a dance class, all in the atmosphere of the grand 18th-century balls.
While costumes aren't mandatory, the Domaine de Dampierre highly recommends them to fully immerse yourself in the day's historic ambiance. As the castle is currently undergoing renovations, visits won't be possible during the day, but the grounds will offer plenty to enjoy! As for pricing, expect 18€ per adult and 10€ per child.
