A château becomes the festival world

Château Perché is built around Château de Vaux rather than dropped into a neutral field. Rooms, gardens and architectural details give electronic sets and artistic performances distinct settings, letting the site guide how the programme is discovered.

The festival treats music and visual culture as parts of the same gathering. House and techno sit beside broader electronic sounds and art, so moving through the château grounds matters as much as staying at one stage.

Two chapters in 2026

The completed 2026 edition unfolded in two date windows, June 25 to 29 and July 2 to 6. That unusual format stretched the programme across two connected stays in Fouchères instead of one conventional weekend.

Practical details and the official programme should be read together: one explains how to enter and stay at Château de Vaux, while the other maps the music and artistic experiences across the estate.
