Event returns in 2026

The eighth edition of the Nuit des Châteaux will take place from October 16 to 18, 2026, following its initial launch in 2019. This annual event transforms historic castles and monuments into temporary venues for cultural and artistic experiences.

Spread across France

The event will occur in around a hundred castles and monuments throughout France, offering visitors a chance to explore these historical sites under unique evening settings. Each location typically hosts a range of performances, exhibitions, and interactive activities.

Some dates already sold out

Due to reduced capacity limits imposed for safety and logistical reasons, certain evenings at popular sites are already sold out, especially in the Brittany region. This has made securing tickets for those specific dates more challenging for attendees.

Opportunities remain available

Despite the sold-out events in some areas, there are still opportunities for visitors to experience the Nuit des Châteaux in the western part of France and other regions. These experiences are available as nightfall approaches, providing flexibility for those planning to attend.
