On Saturday December 2 and Sunday December 3, 2023, the Maison de Chateaubriand in Châtenay-Malabry (92) is organizing its traditional Saint-Nicolas weekend, with great events for young and old.

Every year on December 6, St. Nicholas Day is celebrated in Alsace and eastern France, as well as in Belgium, the Netherlands and Italy... To mark the occasion, the Maison de Chateaubriand in Châtenay-Malabry (92) is organizing a special weekend, with a festive program to bring the whole family to this exceptional estate.

Welcome to the Maison de Chateaubriand, where the famous writer lived for many years, in the heart of his immense wooded estate, just a stone's throw from theArboretum de la Vallée aux Loups and the bucolic Parc de l'Île Verte, in Châtenay-Malabry. So, to recreate a festive atmosphere, the house is organizing lantern tours of the premises, a giant Cluedo, musical readings and lantern-making workshops. During this weekend given in honor of Saint-Nicolas, a festive tradition in which children are accustomed to receiving gifts, we recommend that you and your family (recommended for children aged 6 and over) head off to discover, vibrate and have fun in one of the most famous artists' houses in the Ile-de-France region.
