After celebrating their 10th edition last year, Château Perché is back on track in 2026 with something different. This year, they’re reviving the Vacances Romantiques concept, pushing things in a more experimental and immersive direction, while still maintaining the core spirit that gave them their great reputation and trust among music lovers.
The event will take place across two separate sessions, set within the picturesque grounds of the Château de Vaux in Champagne, France. Session A will run from 25 to 29 June under the theme The Muses at Play, while Session B follows from 2 to 6 July with The Naiads’ Escape, giving people the option to join for one or go all in with a full 10-day experience.
A key point is the emphasis the crew behind the festival puts on curating an intimate experience. Two daytime stages, five night-time stages, over 300 artists, and close to 200 workshops will cover everything from creative expression to more experimental activities. Some concepts go even further, such as stages focused on nonverbal communication or themed parties that break away from the usual festival format.
Now, let’s move on to the lineup.
Session A will bring together a carefully curated selection of artists. Deborah Aime La Bagarre is set to deliver her eclectic selections, while Emma B will add her refined touch behind the decks. Danish talent Kasper Marott will bring his signature blend of groove-driven house alongside IAMBP’s playful approach, and E.lina will step in with her distinctive sound.
Session B continues the journey with a lineup that leans into deeper and more exploratory territories. Aletha will bring her hypnotic energy, Sansibar will deliver his unmistakable blend of retro and electro influences. Polygonia, Leif, and Livwutang will complete the picture with their dynamic and intricate sets.
Château Perché’s ethos revolves around strong values like respect, consent, and openness. They take these values seriously, even requiring to fill in a moral commitment questionnaire before accessing the box office, which says a lot about the kind of environment they’re trying to build.
All in all, Vacances Romantiques 2026 feels less like a standard festival and more like a space where people can disconnect, explore, and simply experience things differently, in a safe and cozy environment.
That said, don’t wait any longer and get your tickets on their website while they’re still fresh.
