Château Perché’s 10th edition, running July 24 to 27 at Château de Farcheville, offers 6,900 attendees a chance to dive into creativity amid a medieval castle’s walls. With the theme “Once upon a time there was a graphic fantasy utopia,” daily dress codes like “Pyjamas in the Sky with Diamonds” inspire self-expression, while the Exploration Village takes it further with hands-on workshops. From building recycled sculptures to mixing beats in sound labs, these sessions let you shape the festival’s surreal world alongside 400+ international artists. It’s a space where you’re not just a guest—you’re a creator.

Music fuels the vibe, with four daytime and seven nighttime stages delivering everything from psytrance’s driving pulses to UK garage’s crisp beats and live bands’ electric riffs. Stages like Le Jardin à la Française pair lush visuals with deep house grooves, while Le Colombier buzzes with collaborative energy. After crafting art or learning skills in the village, you can dance it out or unwind at La Cour d’honneur, where audiovisual shows blend light and sound into immersive stories. The castle’s historic charm—think stone arches and glowing decor—makes every moment feel epic.

Sustainability ties it all together, with a vegetarian menu of local flavors and reusable dishware cutting waste. Shuttles from eight cities keep travel green, and the moral commitment form ensures Respect, Ecology, Safety, and Awakening guide the experience. Press can join guided tours to see how Château Perché transforms a 14th-century site into a playground of innovation. Whether you’re sculpting, mixing, or just soaking it in, this festival hands you the tools to build your own utopia.
