This summer, like the many that have come before, the National Rambouillet Sheep Farm is gearing up for a wonderful summer season built around a program that is family-friendly, welcoming, and festive. Expect pre-dinner aperitifs, concerts, a guinguette vibe that’s laid-back and unpretentious: could this be the recipe for happiness?

The Festival of the Bergerie Nationale of Rambouillet is back this year for its 2026 edition, offering a program of festive, down-to-earth events to bring together friends, family, or couples in a genuinely warm, convivial atmosphere.

Every Thursday in June and the first Thursday in July, from 7 to 10 pm, there’s no deviation: it’s apéro-concert at the Bergerie on the occasion of the festival’s Thursdays. All of it in a guinguette spirit, right at the Théâtre de verdure, located in the Montorgueil garden, inside the parc du château de Rambouillet (where the Bergerie sits). On-site you can grab a bite on the go, and the good news is that the event is entirely free: if you live not far from Rambouillet (or you don’t mind a bit of driving or public transport), head there and feel like you’re in the countryside for one evening!

Musical programming :

  • Simon Chenet and his Trio (guitar, chill, rock and world music), Thursday, June 4
  • Elisabeth Salaün (jazz vocalist and composer), Thursday, June 11
  • Badegna Foli and Sékou Bah (Afro-Groove and French reggae), Thursday, June 18
  • Saint Eldorado (sixties pop with today's hits), Thursday, June 25
  • Ethelbert Band (rock'n'roll and blues from the 50s and 60s), Thursday, July 2

As with the rest of the Festival de la Bergerie, everything is free, with on-site dining featuring boards, fries, and other farm-fresh fare to enjoy, and above all, the event is open to all and no reservation is required! So, shall we head to the on a Thursday in June or July?
