A castle, an open courtyard, a few notes in the evening air: in Brie-Comte-Robert, the 2026 Music Day unfolds in a setting that breaks from the usual stages. Located about thirty kilometers southeast of Paris, the Château de Brie-Comte-Robert is one of the town’s historic landmarks. It is believed to have been built around 1160 by Robert I of Dreux, son of King Louis VI the Fat and brother of Louis VII, who at the time was the first lord of Brie.

The site stands out for its architecture of a château fort médiéval. Originally it featured a square layout, surrounded by moats, with a precinct flanked by towers. This clearly legible form still today helps readers grasp not only its defensive function but also its role in shaping medieval urban life. After periods of deterioration, the castle underwent a major restoration effort. Bought by the municipality in the 20th century, it was classified as a historic monument in 1925. Since the 1980s, the association Amis du Vieux Château has been involved in its preservation, through restoration, archaeological research, and public outreach.

For the Fête de la Musique 2026, the castle becomes a meeting point between local heritage and a musical vibe. A simple way to enjoy an early-summer evening, before checking out the lineup below.
