Nighttime parties 2025

History of nighttime festivals

The Night Festivals began in 1987, inspired by the grand parties given by the Count of Grignan in his castle in Provence.

The audience then enjoys walking tours through the castle rooms, punctuated by theatrical and musical vignettes. Initially conceived with modest means, thanks to the support of villagers and volunteers, the event gradually developed over time, taking its current form in 2004.

Now, an original theatrical production is produced and then performed every summer in front of the monumental facade of Grignan Castle.

The 2025 show
