This summer, from July 24–27, the spellbinding world of Château Perché returns for its 10th anniversary, setting the legendary Château de Farcheville aglow with four days of sonic journeys, visual marvels, and radical creativity. Just a short trip from Paris, this 13th-century fortress becomes the site of one of France’s most imaginative festivals, with over 6,900 festival-goers expected and more than 400 artists performing across 11 meticulously designed stages.
The 2025 edition draws its inspiration from the theme “Once upon a time there was a graphic fantasy utopia”, plunging attendees into a living storybook where costumes, fantasy, and artistic expression blend into a full-bodied experience. Each day invites a new aesthetic: sky-high surrealism on Pyjamas in the Sky with Diamonds, glamorous liberation on Haute Couture Kinky Tales, and vibrant unity on Vermillon Love Legion. 
Musically, Château Perché remains as eclectic and adventurous as ever. From downtempo grooves and melodic techno to amapiano, UK garage, live electronic sets, house, and psytrance, the festival’s lineup spans a kaleidoscope of styles. Soundscapes unfold across uniquely imagined stages like Le Mirador de l’Amor, Le Jardin à la Française, and Le Colombier, each offering an immersive sonic and visual journey.
Beyond music, the festival’s multisensory ethos comes to life in the Exploration Village, where attendees can engage in emotional workshops and embodied experiences. La Cour d’honneur transforms into a meditative realm of audiovisual art, healing zones, and curated spaces for rest and reflection. Every corner of the castle becomes part of the dreamscape, with visionary scenography turning the site itself into a living canvas.
At its heart, Château Perché is built on four guiding values: Respect, Ecology, Safety, and Awakening. The festival grounds are fully vegetarian, waste is actively reduced through reusable dishware, and shuttles from eight cities offer a greener travel option. Admission comes with a moral charter, reinforcing the community-driven spirit and co-creative ethos that define this extraordinary celebration.
Press tours are available on-site, offering media a closer look at the inner workings of one of France’s most forward-thinking cultural gatherings.
