Spectacle de Noël – Le Noël oublié

Presented by the Compagnie équestre du Château de Chantilly beneath the dome of the Grandes Écuries, this equestrian production follows the story of a child named Vérité on a quest across the seas to restore Christmas. Spectators watch horses, visual effects, and fantastical characters such as Winter Fairies, Snow Girls, and playful elves come to life in the arena. Admission to the show also grants entry to explore the Grandes Écuries and the Living Museum of the Horse.
