For 3 weeks, the castle of Hélécine becomes the scene of a fierce fight thanks to a light and sound show screened on its façade: a fight between good and evil where the spirits of the monks unite against evil creatures.

Many other iconic sites will dress up and organize festivities during this trilling (and delicious – let’s not forget the treats) time of the year.

Put on you best costume on. Whether you are looking for a night stroll, a scary adventure, a full immersion in legends, we gather the monsters had better watch out.
