About Jardin d'étoiles Festival
The Domaine de Flotin, an agricultural, social, and cultural hub set within a 12th-century estate on the edge of the Orléans forest in Nibelle, opens its gardens after dark for the Jardin d'étoiles festival. Over two evenings, the grounds come alive with an artisan market, illuminated parklands, live music, and creative workshops, all hosted by the Les jardins de la voie romaine association, which tends to organic vegetable gardens and medicinal plants on-site.
Jardin d'étoiles Festival — edition 2026
For this year's edition, the estate is unveiling a brand-new sensory trail, "Mélodie en Sous-sol," dedicated to the hidden life of the soil. The festival will be brought to life by two evenings of music: Harcham Music and a tribute to Brassens by Zinc à Sète on Friday, followed by the Working Class Trio on Saturday, all set against a backdrop of craft markets, storytelling, and creative workshops.

Practical information — Jardin d'étoiles Festival
The Domaine de Flotin is located at 1 route de Boiscommun, Nibelle (Loiret), bordering the Orléans forest. Festival workshops can be booked online via the estate's website.
An agricultural estate turned nocturnal gathering spot
The Domaine de Flotin is owned by the Communauté de communes du Pithiverais Gâtinais and managed by the Les jardins de la voie romaine association. The site is dedicated to organic farming and medicinal herb cultivation, operating year-round as a tea room and social space that hosts workshops, community projects, and group visits.
During the Jardin d'étoiles, the estate's park transforms into an open-air stage for two magical nights. The gardens are beautifully lit, an artisan market pops up, and visitors can wander between live concerts, storytelling sessions, and creative workshops as the sun goes down.
