Déjeuner sur l'herbe • Les Châteaux de la Drôme

Picnic lunch

Open to all

A festive family day out. Free during the day in the warren. Evening shows for ticket holders only.

For the second year running, Châteaux de la Drôme are offering a big family day out, full of fun and good food.

On Saturday 1^st August, the site of the château of Suze-la-Rousse and its warren will be in turn playing field, open-air stage and country setting for a family picnic and wine tasting.
In the midst of a beautiful summer, the château will be seen in its best light, that of a fortress dominating the Lez valley at its feet. On that festive day, the visitors will be able to make their own this exceptional place, home to one of the most beautiful Renaissance courtyards and a fifty-seven acre wooded warren of holm oak and umbrella pine woodland.

A full day of activities :

talented artists from all walks of life (musicians, jugglers, acrobats...) will display their magical and fascinating worlds,
public readings, walks, guided tours, fun workshops (model of the château)...will be on offer all day long,
local produce and AOC wines will be proudly presented by the producers and sommeliers,
a picnic will bring together the visitors in the privacy and shade of the park.

Show programme

Quelle émotion (?)

By the company Alex Cie autonome.
He's on his own, which is already remarkable, but that's not all... So he juggles and shares his thoughts with us, out loud, unaffectedly.

Damien Heinrich : juggling and strolling

Arbrité

By the company Du O des branches – music installation
An exhibition suspended to the shade of the trees.
In the shade of a beautiful tree, "Arbrité" is a surprising musical break for the whole family. Rocked by the murmur of the leaves or by the melodies of the players perched on the branches, the public settles comfortably on honeycomb cell-shaped seats at ground level !

La Boz Galana

Duet for harp and song. Early music from the 13th to the 18th century.

Lucie Gallibois

World lullabies
How are children put to sleep in various countries ?
Lucie Gallibois has collected for you a few traditional lullabies from several various cultures. From Haïti to Georgia via Canada, Lucie takes us on a journey, a very smooth and tender journey, for the whole family...even the youngest.
