The festival Dans les Jardins de William Christie/

Launched in 2012, the festival  Dans les Jardins de William Christie  — Musical encounters in South Vendée —  grew out of a common desire on the part of the Conseil général de la Vendée and of Mr. Christie himself to create an event that would unite music and gardens, bringing out all the splendor of his creation at Thiré and making it known to a wider public. For each edition, this annual event welcomes about 9 000 spectators who can attend over 100 performances (either promenades musicales or concerts).
