Murder party: life-size detective investigations

There’s been a murder at Quintin Castle… In teams of detectives, you’ll set off in search of clues in the castle grounds to find the culprit, the weapon, the motive and the time of the crime. An original and convivial evening to discover Quintin Castle in a different way!

We offer 4 different scenarios each year. After the “Affaire La Famille” in the spring, from early July we’re offering “l’affaire la Guilde” all summer long in the open air.

Can you solve this dark case?

All the details are here.

Sinon, pour réserver, c’est ici :

Nocturnal events

Dramatised tours

« What if objects told their own stories? »
Among the wonders of the family’s collections, some of these objects wake up and start to talk. Their stories are fascinating…

« When shadows awaken and evoke the past »

A guided, interactive and theatrical tour of the castle’s interiors to go back in time and discover the emblematic characters from the castle’s history…

History, humour and laughter guaranteed!

With the contribution of two actors: Pascal Rebours and Ketty de Larrinaga..

Family visits

In the secret of our cupboards…

What’s hidden in cupboards, chest drawers and locked chests? Exclusively for you, Solange takes hold of the keys and reveals the castle’s hidden treasures.

In a large trunk, each child chooses a costume and becomes, for the duration of the visit, Anne of Brittany, a knight or a musketeer. Then it’s off on a tour full of wonder! Room by room, Solange takes you on a journey of discovery of what is usually invisible. Your heart will beat and your eyes will widen as her impressive set of keys turns in the locks… Keep your ears open as Solange tells you all about the history of these objects. For example, among the château’s archives are several letters patent bearing the signatures of several great French kings, including that of Louis XIV, which will be revealed to you for the first time. The last treasure hidden in the reception room is a delicious snack to share!

It’s a tour for all ages, delighting children and adults, ending with a tasty snack in the château grounds.
