Festival “Dans les Jardins de William Christie”

A music festival orchestrated by the famous musician William Christie, in the gardens of his home at Thiré. With musical walks, family workshops, concerts and candlelit meditations, come and discover Baroque music while admiring the very personal gardens of the great musician.

From 23 to 30 August: William Christie's Garden Festival
Every summer since 2012, Les Arts Florissants and the Département de la Vendée have joined forces to offer a unique event combining the pleasure of music and the beauty of gardens... in the Gardens of William Christie. Over the course of a week, the public is invited to discover little-known works from the Baroque repertoire and a remarkable garden in the Vendée, as well as talented young artists at the start of their careers, whom the Festival is showcasing alongside the regular artists of Les Arts Florissants.
