Description

Imagine a fairytale castle, 33 hectares of French gardens created by the famous gardener André Le Nôtre, inviting you to stroll around, with ponds and fountains… adorned with magical illuminations and bold decorations.

Just 55 km from Paris, the majestic Château de Vaux-le-Vicomte is decked out in its finest attire to celebrate Christmas like nowhere else. Every year for the past 20 years, this jewel of French heritage has been transformed into an enchanted world, where thousands of twinkling lights, sumptuous decorations and artistic installations enhance the French gardens and historic salons. Families are invited to stroll through this picture-postcard setting, where every corner tells a story and every path whispers the magic of Christmas. An immersive experience that transports young and old alike into an unforgettable festive tale.

Activities for the whole family

The Grand Noël de Vaux-le-Vicomte is not just a feast for the eyes: it also awakens the senses and the imagination. Between creative workshops for children, stories and legends told by the fireside, and classical music concerts or Christmas carols, there is something for everyone in this festive celebration. Don't miss the traditional treasure hunt, specially designed for younger visitors, or the tastings of gourmet specialities that warm the heart. The highlight of the show? The grand pyrotechnic finale that lights up the sky and brings this magical day to a beautiful close.

The magic of Christmas is experienced in a big way in the Paris Region!
