If you can't make it to the Venice Carnival, don’t worry — it’s coming to you! In the Yvelines, the Dampierre Castle is hosting two unforgettable nights of celebration on Saturday, February 28 and March 7, 2026, where the estate is magically transformed into a Venetian wonderland. Much like the Italian city, Dampierre rests on a stunning water mirror, extended by its grand historic canal, where nobility of old sometimes fancied floating gondolas during grand festivities.
Just 30 years ago, in 1996, Patrice Leconte shot part of his masterpiece Ridicule at the Château de Dampierre, featuring an unforgettable costumed ball scene. Dust off your most elegant and flamboyant dresses and suits, find a mysterious mask that suits you to blend in unnoticed at the ball, and immerse yourself in a magical atmosphere where theatre, dance, acrobatics, and music will transport you straight into the 18th century.
Price it at 99 euros per person for an exclusive evening immersed in the charm of bygone ballroom dances. The evening includes champagne and canapés, theatrical vignettes, dance lessons, and a range of other surprises to enjoy.
