Throughout the year, Château de Roche opens its gates for gatherings that bring together the people and spirit of this place – from the intimate intellectual evenings of Le Tétramorphe to seasonal celebrations in the gardens overlooking the Loue. Whether a summer fête under the chestnut trees or a winter symposium by the fire, each occasion is shaped by the same conviction: that the best conversations happen where good wine, honest food and the right company come together.

Garden Party 2025

On Saturday 21 June, the gardens of Château de Roche came alive with the people who make this place what it is. Friends and family gathered alongside the wonderful community of Arc-et-Senans and the skilled artisans and contractors whose hands have helped bring the château back to life. What began as a summer garden party became something more – an afternoon of shared laughter, good wine, and the kind of warmth that only comes when the right people are together in the right place. These photographs capture the spirit of that day.

A cultural programme rooted in the tradition of the Greek symposium – residential gatherings where ideas, gastronomy, wine, and artistic creation come together. Four events per year, four faces of human experience, in the intimate setting of the château.
