During the All Saints' Day holidays, which run from October 17 to November 1, several cultural sites in the Drôme region are offering activities for both children and adults. These events include castle investigations, open-air exhibitions, and performances, providing a variety of options for visitors.

Castles offer themed investigations

The three departmental castles in the Drôme are hosting special programs during the holiday period. In Montélimar, visitors can explore the world of medieval medicine and witchcraft through interactive activities and puzzles designed for children. At Suze-la-Rousse, an immersive investigation centered on Nostradamus is available, allowing guests to experience mystery and history firsthand.

Historical reenactments in Grignan

In Grignan, families can step back into the 17th century and explore the intrigues of Louis XIV's court through the Nicolas Fouquet affair. This event includes guided tours and a special night visit, offering a unique perspective on historical events and figures like Madame de Sévigné.

Art exhibition in the Saoû forest

For those seeking a blend of art and nature, the Auberge des Dauphins in the Saoû forest is hosting an exhibition by artist Marie Denis titled Mes Verdures. The exhibition runs until November 1 and features works made from wood, stone, and ceramics, inspired by the natural world.

The Drôme libraries are also participating in the celebrations with the 15th edition of the De lignes en scène festival. From October 17 to December 13, 35 library locations will host performances including theater, dance, music, storytelling, and readings.
