Langeais Night Market

A Summer Evening at the Foot of the Castle

Each summer, the town of Langeais organizes its Night Market in the historic heart of the city, dominated by the imposing Château de Langeais, one of the most beautiful medieval castles in the Loire Valley. This event has become a must-attend summer gathering in Touraine, attracting locals and visitors for an evening of sharing and discovery.

Artisans, Creators, and Producers

The night market brings together a diverse selection of craftspeople and creators: jewelers, ceramicists, leatherworkers, wood artisans, textile designers, illustrators, and many more. Alongside them, local producers offer specialties from the Touraine region: wines from the Bourgueil and Saint-Nicolas-de-Bourgueil appellations, goat cheeses, rillettes, honey, jams, and artisanal pastries.

Food and Drink

Food areas are set up for visitors to sit and enjoy dishes cooked on-site: grilled meats, crêpes, galettes, regional dishes, and sweet treats. Drink stands offer local wines, craft beers, fruit juices, and cocktails in a relaxed and festive atmosphere.

Street Performances and Musical Parades

The night market is enlivened by street performances and entertainment troupes who parade among the stalls, creating a magical and joyful atmosphere. Musicians, jugglers, stilt walkers, and street artists transform the streets of Langeais into a true open-air theater, much to the delight of young and old.

A Family-Friendly and Free Event

Entry to the night market is free, and the event is designed to welcome all audiences. Families particularly appreciate the variety of entertainment, the opportunity to stroll among the stalls, and enjoy a summer evening in a remarkable heritage setting. The market continues until late in the evening, offering long hours of discovery and conviviality.

Langeais, Between the Loire and Heritage

Located on the right bank of the Loire River, the town of Langeais is a must-visit stop in the Loire Valley. Its castle, its thousand-year-old keep, its gardens, and its historic center form a perfect backdrop for this night market, which happily combines heritage, crafts, and gastronomy from Touraine.
