From 10.00 am, let yourself be swept away by the brand-new “Ballade à Béatrix”, an immersive audio adventure created by the theatre company Les Entractés
This 16-stage walk invites you to rediscover the history of the Vieux Château through an original production combining storytelling, music and theatre. Two departures are available at 10.15 am and 11.15 am from the Tourist Office, with the artists in attendance. Participants will be offered a glass of wine on arrival at the Place du Vieux Château.
