Halloween 2026 at Château de Grouchy: pumpkin contest and family-friendly haunted trail

The Château de Grouchy in Osny (95) drags us into Halloween fever on October 31, 2026. With pumpkin contests, spellbinding tales, and an immersive haunted trail, get ready for a magical family outing.

Have you heard? No, you’re not dreaming! It’s the chilling breath of Halloween that’s returning to haunt Paris and the Île-de-France... And it doesn’t spare the Val-d'Oise (95)! On Saturday, October 31, 2026, the Château de Grouchy, a splendid 18th-century residence set in a 42-hectare park in Osny, will transform into a theater of fright where mystery, chills and whimsy join the party.

From 2 p.m., the festivities kick off with a pumpkin contest open to all ages and pumpkin-art enthusiasts. From 3 p.m., the little ones are whisked away to a realm of wonder with a session of children's stories, a gentle thrill before night falls.

When darkness settles over the park, the castle reveals its most unsettling face... From 7 p.m., the bravest will step into the formidable parcours hanté immersif (for ages 8 and up). The villains from our childhood stories seem to have stepped out of the books to scare us. A journey through shadows and whispers, where every step promises an adrenaline rush... and a few nervous laughs.

Fortunately, at the end of this journey, there’s something to comfort you: pumpkin soup and candy, a perfect Halloween menu! Of course, there’s no question of celebrating this holiday without donning an appropriate look. Go all out with your costumes and enter the photo contest at a decorated booth!

The event is open to all the brave, reservation required. So, don your scariest costumes and come experience a spellbinding Halloween night in the historic backdrop of the Château de Grouchy.
