The Pique-Nocte is packaged for 2 people. If your group has an odd number of people, here are two solutions:
– The “bon vivant” solution: provide 1 extra Pique-Nocte (the little jars keep for 4 or 5 days in the fridge after opening);
– The picky eater solution: 1 Pique-Nocte is enough for 3 people, as everything can be shared.
You can reserve this basket for 2 people after selecting your tickets. In this case, we advise you to arrive at least 45 minutes before your slot!
For those who have already bought tickets and would like a picnic, you can write to us using the contact form to reserve the basket for 2 people, to be paid for on the spot.
The picnic area is reserved exclusively for visitors who eat our Pique Nocte products.
This medieval reserve has many secrets to reveal… The audio story is available in four languages :
- French
- English
- Spanish
- German
The tour you will take is 2 kilometres long. You can expect to spend between 45 minutes and 1 hour discovering all the mysteries of this adventure…
In order to fully enjoy the Parcs et Lumières experience, we advise you to wear good shoes as the visit takes place outdoors, in the forest and among the meadows of the estate.
Unfortunately, the tour is not accessible to people with reduced mobility: it takes place entirely outdoors on an unpaved nature trail with unlevelled areas, making it difficult to walk.
The tour is not accessible for pushchairs. You can drop them off at the reception area and complete the route using a baby carrier.
What happens in case of bad weather? Are pets allowed? Can we buy a ticket on site and with what means of payment? Is there parking nearby? We answer all your practical questions in the F.A.Q.!

We are committed to preserving the surrounding ecosystem during your visit. Each visitor is equipped with headphones, ensuring no sound pollution disturbs the park’s nocturnal wildlife. Furthermore, we prioritize eco-friendly technologies by using solar-powered lighting to illuminate the pathway. All audiovisual installations are programmed to automatically turn on at sunset and off at the end of the evening, preventing any energy waste.
Although broadcasting high-definition images, the video mapping projection benefits hundreds of people, thus limiting its environmental footprint. For comparison, the 1.35 kWh consumed by the final video mapping of Parc et Lumières is equivalent to about a dozen televisions on for 1 hour, or 3 people streaming a movie for 1 hour.
