A wonderful family moment under the sign of Christmas in Grimaud for 2 days on the theme of Canada! Fireworks above the castle, musical ambiance, mulled wine, hot chocolate and of course Santa Claus! On the village Church square, and during 2 days of magical celebrations, find our many activities: real Canadian chalets, one of which, converted into a Santa Claus house, with the star of the day himself inside , a campfire and its musicians, demonstrations of “tire-sur-neige”, these famous lollipops of melted maple syrup poured on snow, a pancake workshop, readings of Canadian tales… and so much other surprises!

Without forgetting, of course, the now traditional fireworks display above the Château de Grimaud, ever more magical, ever more magical, and even longer and more intense, fired on Saturday December 23 at 6:30 p.m.! And like in past years, it will be best viewed from the Saint-Roch mill, with mulled wine, hot chocolate and toasted marshmallows offered!
