Once again this year, head to the Dampierre Estate (Yvelines, 78), on April 3rd, 4th, and 5th, 2026, for a rather special Easter adventure targeted at young egg hunters. In the gardens of the Dampierre Castle, Albert, the magic bunny, has dropped his basket… and three very special eggs have rolled across the estate: the Golden Egg, the Silver Egg, and the Bronze Egg.

The concept is straightforward: keep your eyes wide open, stroll through the grounds, explore the bushes, and hunt for those precious eggs hidden throughout the gardens. Because here, it’s not just about chasing chocolate... it’s about hunting for the prize! The Golden Egg, for example, offers a full year’s subscription to the estate for four people, along with a tour of the castle, while the Silver and Bronze Eggs also guarantee the chance to win some exciting visits. And don’t worry, little sweet tooths—chocolate awaits all the children!

The good news is that this delightful foodie adventure also serves as the perfect excuse to stroll through the castle’s gardens, which have recently been restored. With expansive landscaped vistas, a quaint farm, a peaceful pond, and lush, tree-lined paths, the estate offers an ideal setting for a springtime walk, basket in hand and eyes open for hidden treasures.

The castle remains the only true mystery: its interior is still off-limits to visitors as restoration work continues. That’s yet another reason to come back… and who knows, maybe, just maybe, you might stumble upon a long-forgotten Easter egg.

So, are you ready to put all your eggs in one basket… or better yet, hunt for them in the Dampierre Gardens?
