a gathering for dreamers, artists, queers and wild hearts

13-16 August 2026

Château du Fresne. Mayenne, France

Join the Voyage

Hidden in the French countryside lies Château du Fresne — a place that has become our shared dream since 2022.

A home for artists, friends and curious souls to gather, co-create and celebrate life.

This summer, we open the gates for the second edition of Voyage Château Festival: 
a four-day tribute to art, freedom, nature and community.


Here, you're not just a visitor. You're part of something living and breathing — a co-creative playground where everyone contributes in their own way. Share your gift, build a world, or simply arrive with an open heart.

Voyage Château Festival has no commercial motives. It's built with love by a non-profit team of artists, makers and dreamers. Any proceeds flow directly back into future editions.

Program

At Voyage, there is no fixed timetable.

Instead, we invite artists, musicians and dreamers to shape the days as they unfold — blending intention with spontaneity.

Some creations will be announced, many will emerge in the moment.



As a gentle framework, we hold to this simple rhythm:

Thursday
Opening Night 18:00 – 00:00

Friday & Saturday

08:00 – 12:00 Slow community mornings
(running, walking, swimming, yoga, meditation)

12:00 – 14:00 Family-style long table lunch

14:00 – 23:00 Experience the full Voyage program

Sunday
Breakfast and farewell



Expect a wild mix of performance art, house, theatre, ambient soundscapes, storytelling, wellbeing rituals, piano and poetry.

And of course, delicious food — because we think you should eat like a French goddess.

Some artists will perform live, while others have their works — including pieces by renowned creators — exhibited throughout the château.
