A centuries-old French castle, glowing after dark with skulls and marigolds projected across its stone walls. That’s what happened at Château de Pompadour one Halloween. The château sits in France’s Corrèze region and normally draws visitors for its ties to Madame de Pompadour and its long history of horse breeding. But for one night, it became something else entirely — the setting for a Día de los Muertos-style light show, with 3D projections turned across the entire façade.
Nearly 150 costumed performers led guests through the grounds after dark, past elaborate sets built for the occasion. Thousands of people showed up, proving that a 15th-century château and modern Halloween theatrics make for a surprisingly perfect match.
