This is based on the history of the chateau and on the fight for freedom: the anniversary of the death of Toussaint Louverture, the abolition of slavery, exhibitions, readings and artistic residences, new plays and theatrical productions, concerts, night-time visits, treasure hunts, cultural heritage visits, historical re-enactments… and also a few events that combine sport and heritage in this magnificent setting.
The chateau de Joux enjoys a rich and diverse programme of artistic and cultural events.
The Joux Nights festival
The society “The Haut-Doubs Events Centre” organises each summer (from late July to mid-August) the Joux Nights festival, which combines theatre, dance and music in the special setting of the main courtyard, at the foot of the dungeon – and also in the streets and auditoriums in Pontarlier.
Summer 2023
- Comedy on the move for all the family by Mathilde Martinage, in collaboration with the CAHD
- Tuesdays and Thursday in the summer at 21h30
- Duration: 1h30
- Booking needed
Two real-false historians each in turn take on the most unexpected roles to take us on a journey with the forgotten women of Joux. They set off to meet the women of the chateau, sometimes inheritors, sometimes prisoners but never insignificant. Ghosts from the past appear and stories are told!
And then, from time to time, our two friends get a bit lost and are caught up in the whirlwinds of their imagination! Follow carefully, and most importantly, do not be afraid of the ghosts!
Ask for the programme!
Our events are very popular, so don’t wait to book!
