Festival du Merveilleux 2025

In November and December, our rooms are often booked for corporate events, which means we are unable to schedule guided tours. Our next major event for the public is the Festival du Merveilleux. Guided tours will resume as normal in 2026.

<h4>From December 27 to January 5, discover the Festival du Merveilleux!</h4>
Many new shows will amaze young and old, all in a friendly and warm atmosphere. This is an opportunity for the public to discover the museum at their own pace, to be amazed by the exceptional heritage preserved in the museum’s various rooms and to attend many impromptu shows.
We recommend that you purchase your tickets in advance.
