Character Sunday® Vaucouleurs

Enjoy a rare experience with Dimanches de Caractère® in the Petites Cités de Caractère® of the Grand Est. These events open the doors to places that are often privately owned, inviting you to discover heritage in a whole new way. Guided by enthusiasts, you can explore confidential areas, talk to local residents and immerse yourself in a local history told with authenticity. Each walk becomes a privileged moment, between unusual discoveries and cultural immersion, in a friendly atmosphere accessible to all.

Departing from the chapelle castrale, near the Porte de France, you’ll follow a guided tour of the high points of the Johannine epic. You’ll explore the chapel and its crypt, spaces steeped in history that reveal their secrets through passionate accounts.

The experience continues in a convivial atmosphere with a tasting of local products. The flavors offered by local producers illustrate the close link between tradition, nature and know-how. This walk, accessible to all, perfectly balances cultural discovery, human encounters and gourmet pleasures in an authentic setting.
