From July 24 to 27, the imaginative universe of Château Perché unfolds once more—this time to mark a decade of artistic experimentation and collective dreaming. Set within the storied walls of Château de Farcheville, a 13th-century castle just beyond Paris, the festival’s 10th edition promises an immersive journey like no other: four days of genre-blending music, fantastical design, and sensory exploration, shared among 6,900 guests and over 400 artists from across the globe.
The 2025 theme, “Once upon a time there was a graphic fantasy utopia,” is both an invitation and a declaration. It transforms the grounds into a realm where myth meets motion, and everyone becomes a character in a world written in sound, costume, and light. Each day carries its own visual identity:
- Pyjamas in the Sky with Diamonds — dreamy and surreal
- Haute Couture Kinky Tales — opulent, theatrical, provocative
- Vermillon Love Legion — a bold, radiant celebration of togetherness
Musically, Château Perché continues to be a haven for eclecticism. Attendees will find everything from downtempo to melodic techno, amapiano, live performance, house, UK garage, and psytrance—staged across uniquely conceived spaces like Le Mirador de l’Amor, Le Jardin à la Française, and Le Colombier, where architecture becomes part of the performance.
Yet the soul of the festival lies beyond the stages. The Exploration Village hosts workshops that blur the line between healing and art, while La Cour d’honneur becomes a sanctuary for stillness, audiovisual rituals, and curated calm. Every structure and surface is treated as canvas—each corner designed to delight, disorient, or ground.
Rooted in the founding values of Respect, Ecology, Safety, and Awakening, Château Perché remains as intentional as it is imaginative. The festival is entirely vegetarian, avoids single-use waste through reusable tableware, and offers low-impact travel via shuttles from eight cities. Entry requires a moral commitment form, reinforcing the idea that this isn’t just a festival, but a living community built on shared purpose.
Press tours are available on-site for accredited journalists seeking a deeper view into one of Europe’s most original cultural gatherings—where every day is a new chapter, and the story is written in real time.
