A stroll to the rhythm of baroque music
It all starts like the traditional Grandes Eaux Nocturnes, which means taking a walk through the gardens and groves of the château. At the fountains, baroque music classics will be performed, from Lully to Rameau, passing through Handel and Gluck. The fountains will offer you a wonderful spectacle of lights and dancing water jets.
