Festi Lumière

Open-air cinema at Château Bellevue

As the former home of the Lumière family, Château Bellevue in Villié-Morgon is a natural setting for a celebration of cinema history. Our partnership with the Institut Lumière lends true prestige to this open-air festival, which balances artistic quality with accessibility and charm. Over three evenings, we honor the spirit of innovation, storytelling, and community championed by the Lumière brothers in a truly exceptional setting.

A three-part epicurean experience

Each evening ticket grants access to the Château Bellevue grounds and park:

• 6:00 PM – 7:00 PM: A discovery tasting of Domaines Loron wines for adults, hosted by our winemaking team and cellar masters.
• From 7:00 PM: Access to dining areas and a selection of Beaujolais and Mâconnais wines from Domaines Loron and Auvigue, available to enjoy in the park before the film.
• At dusk, around 9:30 PM – 9:45 PM: Film screening on a giant screen in the heart of the English-style park, featuring high-quality sound.
