The magic of Christmas in Milandes
For workshops, parents are welcome and can have fun with their child if the workshop is not full. Our workshops are very interactive!
The brasserie is open for lunch! Come and taste dishes created by the chef as suggestions for Christmas and desserts that remind us of our childhood. From 10 a.m. to 7 p.m., enjoy the tea room.
Finally, for those who are more cautious, the castle is well heated and we light the exterior parts (facades and gardens) so that everyone discovers a very special atmosphere in Milandes at nightfall.
No extra charge for entertainment.
