Living the château life sells a dream. And most people in Île-de-France don’t realize you can actually immerse yourself in the history of numerous castles—many centuries or even millennia old—by simply paying a visit to these giants of French heritage.
So, during the holidays, the refrain stays the same: we head to the castles of Île-de-France to marvel at the medieval, Renaissance or Baroque wonders the region is famous for. During the vacances de Pâques from April 3 to 19, 2027, some Île-de-France castles also offer a program with activities, guided or theatrical tours, animations... And even a family discovery space!
The good news is that most castles are free for children (free admission for those under 25). Have a great holiday in the castles of Île-de-France!
