Picnic in the gardens of Château de Candie
In the heart of Savoie, Château de Candie invites you to experience the simple pleasures of a picnic in the château gardens. Whether you’re planning a romantic escape, a relaxed lunch with friends, or a family outing, our picnic baskets are filled with flavour and designed for moments to remember.
An idyllic setting for outdoor dining in Savoie
Set within six hectares of grounds, bordered by vineyards, rose bushes, and century-old trees, the château provides a truly special backdrop for dining al fresco. With mountain views, a gentle climate, and an atmosphere of complete tranquillity, every moment becomes a cherished memory.
