The Grand Easter Egg Hunt at Vaux-le-Vicomte!
As the fine weather returns, the Estate throws open its gates to host France’s largest Easter egg hunt. A spring tradition that has become truly unmissable, where families and friends share a moment of joy and wonder at the heart of a verdant setting.
This new edition invites children and adults alike to step into a world inspired by the tale of Alice in Wonderland. Playful, delightfully talkative creatures, refined porcelain and décor inspired by the famous Tea Time create an atmosphere that is elegant, poetic and subtly whimsical. For the occasion, the Grand Salon will be entirely transformed.
Hunts designed for all ages.…
Vaux-le-Vicomte turns Easter into an adventure for all. Five large-scale egg hunts have been designed so that every generation can find its own challenge.
Families will progress together along a trail suitable for all ages. Notably, in one of these five hunts, adults will have a major role to play, while children cheer them on in their quest.
Throughout the walk, actors from the Compagnie des Arlequins bring to life the estate’s emblematic animals. These delightfully eccentric characters punctuate the trail with unexpected encounters, blending humour, surprises and deliciously shared secrets about the gardens.
The most observant visitors may also discover the mysterious squirrel, carefully concealed within the estate. Keep your eyes open and your ears alert: at the sound of the bell, the festivities may begin. The fortunate winners will be rewarded with an additional gourmet prize by Leonidas.
Activities for the whole family
In addition to the traditional egg hunts, children will be able to take part in face-painting and creative workshops held in the outbuildings. They will also have the opportunity to enjoy giant wooden games in the gardens and pony rides. Electric car are available for hire between 10.00 am and 4.00 pm.
And of course, no visit would be complete without exploring the château itself, where period costumes may be hired (no advance booking required) and where visitors can ascend to the dome to admire panoramic views over the rooftops of the Château (for those over 1.35 metres tall).
