Dragon egg hunt at Rivau Castle
From 4 to 6 April 2026
On 4, 5 and 6 April 2026, children will be able to have fun and run around the gardens of the Château du Rivau in search of chocolate eggs, surrounded by the fragrant blooms of the gardens carpeted with tulips and daffodils!
Easter egg hunts are back!
Children aged 3-5, accompanied by their parents, will search for eggs in the enchanted gardens of Le Rivau. This year, children aged 6–10 will set off with our mediators in search of dragon eggs… They will have to overcome obstacles and solve puzzles to save the eggs. At the end of this activity, the children will be rewarded with chocolate eggs.

Two brand new Easter-themed activity books
This year, the activity booklets will focus on the theme of hunting for eggs… dragon eggs! Two fun and festive activity booklets will be available for children aged 3–5 and 6–10, allowing them to enjoy the fairy-tale gardens of Le Rivau with their families or on their own. These activity booklets are available without reservation and at no extra charge. They will be given to children when you visit the ticket office. Each child will receive a chocolate at the end of the game.
During the Easter weekend, you can also enjoy Karen’s lovely face painting (€5 extra charge, payment for face painting by cash only, no credit cards).
