An exceptional setting

The main courtyard, under open skies.

The concerts take place in the château's main courtyard, a listed Historic Monument. A 14th-century stone setting for an exceptional programme, ten minutes from Dax railway station.

In case of bad weather

The performance still goes ahead: the first 300 registered guests are guaranteed a seat in the air-conditioned Orangery, for everyone's comfort. Those registered beyond that capacity are fully refunded.
