BEST HUMAN

“Be your Best Human” is our guiding motto; we are deeply committed to raising awareness around values such as kindness, consent, and non-judgement. To access ticket sales, every festivalgoer must first fill out a moral commitment questionnaire.

ECOLOGY

We are striving to develop a zero-waste festival that leaves no trace behind at the château. To achieve this, we promote the “bring your own cup” system to avoid single-use plastics. We provide cup holders at the various bars, hand out pocket ashtrays at the entrance, and offer biodegradable soap for free at the showers.

A dedicated waste-sorting crew is on-site to guide festivalgoers toward the most eco-responsible practices.

The festival is strictly vegetarian, and we use reusable tableware at all our stands and food trucks.

The introduction of shuttles departing from 8 cities is a strong part of our ecological commitment. This year, our goal is to have 40 to 50% of the audience travel by shuttle, with departures from Nantes, Rennes, Toulouse, Bordeaux, Lille, Dijon, Lyon, Étampes, and Paris (with reinforcement from the nearest RER station).

SAFE PLACE

The Safe Place is designed as a sanctuary for healthy emotional release and decompression – a space where aggression is not tolerated and kindness is absolutely required.

AWAKENING

Château Perché was imagined as a journey of sensory awakening, encouraging body awareness through immersive and interactive activities, as well as thought-provoking awakenings through talks, exhibitions, and performances.

HEALTH BREAKS

We’ve introduced quiet hours from 8:30 AM to 1:00 PM, an essential transition that allows festivalgoers to fully enjoy the Château Perché experience. Because yes — it’s that mix of intense highs and restorative pauses that brings us into harmony.
