At Easter, the air in Île-de-France is filled with the scent of chocolate… and some very serious competition. As soon as the bells have rung, children have just one thing on their minds: setting off on an Easter egg hunt and leaving not a crumb—or rather, not a shell—behind. From parks to museums and castles, the hunts are multiplying, much to the delight of children (and sweet-toothed grown-ups!). In Maisons-Laffitte (Yvelines, 78), the Château de Maisons is doing it again on Monday, April 6, 2026, with an Easter event set to send little sweet-toothed hunters racing around its park. A chance to get plenty of fresh air, take on challenges and enjoy some treats.
Easter Egg Hunts in the Yvelines for 2026: The Full Schedule in the 78
With its vast forests and historic landmarks, the Yvelines region offers some fantastic Easter egg hunts for children. Whether it's a hunt on a farm, in a grand château, or even at the zoo, there's no shortage of activities to delight young adventurers and keep everyone entertained during the Easter celebrations of 2026.

Children aged 7 and up can take on a slightly more challenging mission with “Chocolate Mission: Your Turn to Play.” Armed with an activity booklet, families will have to spot the differences, draw the castle façade and complete a giant crossword in the park to uncover the hidden word and claim the coveted chocolate reward. Here, you need to hunt with your eyes as much as your brain!
All set against the chic, leafy backdrop of the grounds of Château de Maisons, giving this Easter egg hunt a touch of royal flair. Just one rule to keep in mind: one entry per family, while supplies last.
So, ready to investigate?
