Halloween is coming to many places in Provence, transforming parks and alleys into true scenes from gothic tales. In La Barben, the animal park offers a program full of surprises where children can meet friendly witches ready to give them Halloween makeovers. With golds of orange and green, giant pumpkins proudly stand, adding a festive touch to this solemn celebration.
The Château de l’Empéri in Salon-de-Provence is also opening its doors for a memorable Halloween. The museum’s rooms are adorned with unsettling decorations: spider webs, skeletons, and other macabre adornments that transport visitors into a frightening universe, complemented by exciting animations. In addition, a movie snack at the cinema Le Galet will allow families to end the day around a thrilling movie.
