It takes a certain spirit of adventure to climb up to Lacoste, clinging to its limestone cliffs at 300 metres in the Luberon. But since Pierre Cardin bought the ruins of the Marquis de Sade's château and installed his festival there, the village has become one of the most unexpected cultural venues in Provence.
Opera and music in a Provençal château
In 2026, the festival will present its performances from mid-July to early August. Opera productions, often revisited classics or contemporary works, are performed outdoors facing the ramparts and the Luberon panorama. The small capacity gives each evening an almost private dimension.
Getting to Lacoste in the Luberon
Traffic and parking information is communicated by the organisers and the town hall before the event: check it before you set off. MR Taxi drops you as close as possible and picks you up at the exit, from all towns in the region, at the guaranteed maximum price announced at booking. If the place is hard to reach, I will give you an easily accessible meeting point.
It is advisable to book at least 24 hours ahead, but even at the last minute I adapt and find a solution. Estimate your trip on the Private transport page or contact us.
