The Fêtes Galantes is an annual meeting of lovers of history and baroque costumes. In the main courtyard, the participants paraded in colorful costumes, glass of champagne in hand.

"I am transported back in time. It's a budget, but for me the magic is worth it," says a woman in a long pale pink dress who came from Kansas City, in the U.S., especially for the event. "The pleasure is to wear the right costume in the right place," says one man in a turquoise velvet suit.
