Presentation

The date is 27 June 1619. The Marquise Françoise de Lansac, owner of the château, is receiving the man who shared her childhood games: King Louis XIII.

To mark the occasion, the captain of the king's bodyguard hastily recruits new members to his company, because rumours are rife in the antechambers that supporters of the disgraced queen mother, Marie de Médicis, are trying to take young Louis' life.

Join the King's guard to foil the plot that threatens him, and enjoy an exceptional 17th-century experience!

La Conjuration d'Azay is a theatrical show staged in the château, in which you will be invited to follow the protagonists of the story, played by actors from the Théâtre des Minuits, accompanied by volunteer actors and extras.

Together, will you be able to thwart the threat hanging over the king?
