Madame de Sévigné’s Great Christmas

The Château de Grignan holds its third edition of the Christmas festivities, closing the Sévigné year with rooms dressed and lit up to bring back the Christmas reunion of the Marquise de Sévigné and her loved ones.

Christmas with the family of the Marquise de Sévigné

Once again, visitors witness the reunion of Madame de Sévigné and her family. Her grandchildren, Louis-Provence and Pauline, can hardly wait to play a game of backgammon or billiards with their grandmother. Meanwhile, each of them quietly thinks about the New Year’s gifts they might treat themselves to in January. Conversations grow lively and pleasures are shared: the long-awaited moment has finally come.

A château in winter, between celebration and intimacy

The visit leads through the château’s rooms, lit up and decorated for the holidays, and reveals the atmosphere of a house in the depths of winter. Visitors step into the daily life of the “de Grignan” family, divided between festive merrymaking and quieter, more private moments.
