Festi Val de Mercy

2025 Edition — Three Evenings Under the Castle Oaks

Festi Val de Mercy once again took over the park of the Château du Val de Mercy in mid-July 2025 for three musical evenings marked by eclecticism and Burgundian conviviality. In the natural amphitheater formed by the park's ancient oak trees, the festival faithfully kept its promise: to offer, in an intimate and heritage-rich setting, three distinct musical universes to an audience from all over Auxerrois and beyond.

2025 Edition Program

• Friday, July 18: Opening with jazz, featuring a manouche and swing jazz quartet, in line with the tradition inaugurated in the early editions with Aurore Voilqué. A cozy and festive atmosphere to kick off the festival's three evenings.
• Saturday, July 19: Choral evening with a chamber vocal ensemble performing a program of sacred and secular polyphony, from the Renaissance to the present day. The voices blended into the natural acoustics of the park for a moment of great beauty.
• Sunday, July 20: Closing with a chamber orchestra, Les Solistes Français, conducted by Paul Rouger, for a Mozartian and Baroque program acclaimed by the audience. The evening concluded with a tasting of the estate's Chablis and Coulanges wines.

As in previous editions, entry was free for children under fifteen, and tickets were sold on-site starting at noon each day of the festival. The deliberately limited capacity fostered a serene and close atmosphere between the artists and their audience.
