Presentation
Take an extraordinary trip back in time with shows and entertainment for all the family. Stunts, comedy, dance and sword-fighting will amaze young and old alike.
Le Rocher Mistral is a unique leisure park in Provence. It takes visitors on an extraordinary journey back in time, with 11 shows and numerous activities for the whole family to enjoy. Waterfalls, comedy, dance, sword-fighting and sound and light shows marvel the public in the heart of the thousand-year-old castle of La Barben.
Day or evening, experience adventure at the Rocher Mistral!
Plunge into the heart of the Middle Ages in a battle of knights ready to do anything to defeat the enemy, flee the rebels besieging the castle, sail the oceans of the globe alongside an officer of Louis XIV's Royal Navy, fly over the most emblematic sites of Provence on the back of an eagle, relive the Napoleonic epic, find the stolen jewels of Pauline Borghese, dream in front of the night shows in the castle gardens...
New for 2024: 2 evening plays featuring Provencal songs.
Evening entertainment
As the sun sets on the horizon, Mireille and Frédéric return from the fields at dusk. As the branches of the trees rustle gently in the summer breeze, and the heady scents of the garrigue fill the air, they meet old Aunt Renaude, dozing on her front porch. With her, they evoke the time of the vanished "veillées". These wakes, jewels of the oral tradition, are the perfect time to pass on the knowledge and stories of yesteryear.
The bell of the cascarelettes
It's a story of a cracked bell, a rich neighbor, the landscapes and gastronomy of Provence, and the fashionable "Cascarelettes", which means "Facéties" in Provençal. This adaptation of Mistral's tales reveals his attachment to his culture, to the land of Provence, and his taste for colorful characters and comical situations. Isn't the principle of storytelling to be limited only by the imagination of its author?
At Parc Rocher Mistral, the scenery, music and ultra-modern technology make this an immersive experience for the whole family, one you'll remember for a long time to come!
