Château de Lavaux-Sainte-Anne — Attraction in Rochefort

Step into a world of spine-tingling enchantment at the annual Halloween celebration hosted by this bewitching castle! With its haunted castle, eerie costumes, and a culinary cauldron of delights, this event promises to be a nightmarish adventure like no other.

During the chilling journey, you'll encounter lost souls in torment and malevolent beings that will send shivers down your spine. But here's the real question: do you dare to enter the Dungeon? This eerie, otherworldly experience beckons the bravest souls, yet one must think twice before venturing within. For if you wander too far into the labyrinthine depths, the creatures that dwell within will keep you captive for centuries, perhaps even for eternity. You might become one of them, forever imprisoned within these ancient walls. Consider yourself warned.

Now, for the young ones, the question of starting age is a matter of your adorable little monster's sensitivity. Their creatures are experts at adapting their scares to the age of little wizards and other pint-sized demons, ensuring a thrilling yet age-appropriate experience.

The great news is that you can go in disguise! Dress up to your heart's content and relish the opportunity to capture memories in this enchanting, haunted setting.

Worried about punctuality? Don't be! While they recommend arriving during business hours, there's no need to strictly adhere to your pre-sale ticket time. Flexibility is the name of the game, and they welcome all brave souls whenever you choose to join.

Please note that the castle's interior isn't stroller-friendly due to narrow stairs, so consider using a baby carrier if you're bringing your little ones along. They do, however, offer accessibility to individuals with reduced mobility (PMR) in the French gardens, cellars of the castle, craft market, and bar. Unfortunately, the many stairs inside the castle make wheelchair access challenging.

For the convenience of their guests, there's a spacious and complimentary car park, ensuring a hassle-free visit. And when it comes to refreshments, their snacks and bar boast tantalizingly democratic prices, ensuring that no one leaves hungry or thirsty.

So, if you're ready to embark on a hair-raising adventure and explore the depths of this spine-chilling castle, go to this Halloween celebration. But remember, once you cross the threshold, you may never want to leave—consider yourself warned, and prepare for a night of eerie...

A beautiful step back in time!

Visiting the Château de Lavaux-Sainte-Anne was an unforgettable experience. The castle is beautifully preserved and offers a fascinating glimpse into the region’s history. Each room is thoughtfully curated, with detailed exhibits about noble life, hunting traditions, and rural heritage. The grounds are just as impressive - walking around the moat and gardens felt like stepping into a fairy tale.

The staff were welcoming and happy to answer questions, making the visit even more enjoyable. I especially appreciated the interactive displays and the chance to climb up the towers for panoramic views of the surrounding countryside.

Perfect for a day trip with family or friends. Highly recommend if you love history, architecture, or simply exploring charming places off the...

The Castle of Lavaux-Sainte-Anne features three museums and a nature reserve. The first is the Museum of the Life of the Lords of Lavaux in the 17th century, showing how they lived, what they wore, what they eat and drank, where they slept etc. The second area is in the cellars. Here, the Museum of Rural Life presents everyday objects, customs and rural festivals of the late 19th century. I found these two museums interesting. Each of the rooms has plenty of fascinating antiquities to investigate. They are well displayed and described, and in many of the rooms there is tasteful atmospheric music playing. The third museum, of nature and hunting, is less interesting and focuses too much on hunting...
