A true architectural gem of France, it was shaped from the Middle Ages through the 19th century, blending Renaissance influences with 19th-century details, featuring sculptural facades, French gardens designed by André Le Nôtre (the same master landscape architect who worked on Versailles), and sumptuous interiors.
This majestic setting—part small Renaissance château and part grand reconstructed palace, surrounded by refined gardens and the iconic park—offers a unique backdrop for this major event on the electronic music scene. In short, it’s exactly the kind of place that turns a concert into a memorable experience.
