Events at the Château de Barbarin
When heritage comes alive: concerts, talks and cultural gatherings punctuate the life of the estate throughout the year.
A living place, between art and history
The Château de Barbarin is not only a witness to the past: it is a space for encounters and sharing. Thanks to the involvement of the Gens de Barbarin association and the owners, the estate regularly welcomes artists, musicians and history enthusiasts. Each event is designed to make the stones resound and to offer the public privileged, timeless moments.
The cultural season
Spring and summer concerts
Every year, the castle and its grounds turn into an intimate stage to host exceptional concerts (classical music, singing). These performances benefit from remarkable acoustics and an enchanting setting in the heart of the Bièvre Valloire.
Talks and historical gatherings
A variety of topics are offered.
Highlights of the Gens de Barbarin association
Beyond the major events open to all, the association punctuates the year with its traditions:
- The General Assembly: A key moment to review the year, present upcoming projects and share a convivial time among members.
- The “Râteaux et chiffons” day: A day of collective mobilisation where members actively take part in maintaining the park and caring for the castle’s objects, ending with a warm country lunch.
