The most important carnivals Saône-Et-Loire

During each school vacation period, the castle of Sully is transformed into a fairy tale world and amazes children with its show trips. The actor Thomas Volatier is reincarnated as a colorful character and gives life to the different rooms of the castle during an imaginary story: "Sully Carnavalesque", "Sully en Sucre", "Sully joue sa comédie" or "Frissons À Sully" will punctuate the year 2023. Adults are not left out since in summer and for Halloween, shows are dedicated to them! Let's go for it as a family.

For ten days at the end of February and the beginning of March, Chalon-sur-Saône vibrates to the rhythm of the "gôniots", the carnival-goers who take over the town. Two large parades on consecutive Sundays are the highlight of the^5th largest carnival in France. Decorated floats, papier-mâché heads, marching bands and majorettes from all over the world make their way through the town center, with huge confetti battles everywhere. Other highlights include Carnaband's Show, a musical extravaganza featuring 500 artists from all over Europe, and a huge funfair with over a hundred rides.
