Vaux-le-Vicomte Castle: illuminating the heart of our heritage
Every year, the Château de Vaux-le-Vicomte is transformed into a magical place where heritage and imagination meet. In 2024, Leblanc illuminations had the honour of contributing to this heritage illumination, signing an exceptional scenography that is at once immersive, innovative and respectful of the site.

An exceptional monument sublimated by light
Listed as a historic monument, the Château de Vaux-le-Vicomte, a 17th-century jewel, served as the backdrop for a unique project combining technological innovation and heritage enhancement.
It took 10 days and 10 nights to transform the castle, both inside and out, offering visitors a total immersion in the magic of the festive season.
Outside, in collaboration with our partner BS Technology, we designed a castle illumination to match its history.

Gardens illuminated by 5 km of connected garlands
The experience begins with the garden paths, transformed into an immersive, choreographed light trail thanks to over 5 km of Twinkly Pro connected garlands. The avenue of fir trees has been fully equipped to create an enveloping and magical effect, in perfect keeping with the original landscape architecture.
Twinkly Pro is an intelligent LED lighting technology that allows each light point to be controlled individually via dedicated software. With this solution, we create dynamic animations, synchronized with the music, and adaptable in real time. An ideal tool for transforming a historic garden into a living stage, without compromising the aesthetics of the site.

Inside: a tale of light and emotion
The fairytale journey continued inside the castle, entirely staged around the tales from our childhood. To enhance this poetic setting, Leblanc illuminations equipped the giant fir tree in the grand salon with Twinkly connected garlands, creating a subtle, dynamic light show.
Conceived as a central element of the visit, the tree became a strong visual landmark, both majestic and warm. Its imposing presence, combined with a subtle lighting scheme, contributed to visitors' sense of wonder and reinforced the fairytale atmosphere desired by the site.
