Courthézon boasts one of the finest town halls in the region – the Château de Val-Seille, built in 1868 by native son and famous maritime entrepreneur Elie Dussaud, and acquired by the council in 1952.
A Provençal mini-Versailles by day, it is transformed into a fairytale palace at night, swathed in magical lighting playing on variations of blue. Throughout the sumer, this idyllic setting forms a backdrop to concerts, theatre, dance, and folkloric displays by local or visiting performers. After the show, performers mingle with the audience for a drink.
Free entry to the park.
