Culture you
can't generate.
VIVANT is where you discover France's living culture — concerts, shows, festivals and gatherings inside its castles, estates and villages. Not a booking. An invitation into the real thing.
Three living cultural practices, kept alive by the people who host them.
VIVANT isn't a listings site. It's a way into the France that happens behind closed doors — the table, the salon and the atelier, each an invitation to belong for an evening.
The shared table
The oldest cultural practice of all — strangers made intimate over slow courses and candlelight. A dinner, yes, but really a conversation that happens to be delicious.
Music & words
The 19th-century Parisian salon, revived. Chamber music, readings and ideas heard up close in a room — not a hall — followed by supper with the artists themselves.
Made by hand
Culture you make, not just watch. A craft, a recipe, a technique passed hand to hand by someone who has given their life to it — then enjoyed together.
Not a booking app with a price tag. A way back into real life.
Not another listings site
France's real experiences are everywhere — but fragmented, hard to find, invisible to the people living nearby. We don't resell rooms or seats; we surface the living culture happening around you and give you a reason to go out tonight.
A network, not a marketplace
We don't build venues or produce every event. We connect the extraordinary cultural infrastructure France already has — castles, estates, villages, local authorities — into one living layer where partners share formats, artists and audiences.
Every format, not just dinners
A candlelit table, yes — but also a concert in a courtyard, open-air theatre, a village festival, a historical reconstruction, a conversation with an artist. One evening, or a whole weekend itinerary of real experiences.
Heritage that pays for its future
Venues keep their independence and their business model; we're the layer that fills their quiet nights and funds their upkeep. Good for guests, good for owners, good for the monuments themselves.
From scrolling to actually being there, in three steps.
Discover what's on
Open the map and see the concerts, shows, festivals and tables happening around you — tonight, this weekend, or on your next trip.
Reserve in a tap
Grab your place in seconds. Many events are free, others just a few euros. Your ticket and the details land straight in the app.
Show up & live it
Step into a floodlit courtyard, a village square, a candlelit hall. Real people, real places — the part of France no screen can give you.
Dinners, concerts, theatre & more.

Scattered across Paris
and the countryside.
Our houses hide in courtyards, behind gates, up unlit staircases and beyond the city in château country. Each glowing zone on the map marks the quarter of an upcoming evening — the precise door arrives only once your seat is confirmed.
The people behind the doors.
Every evening belongs to a host — a countess, a chef, a cellist, a family. They are our true partners: the keepers of the houses and the practices you come to share.
Comtesse Hélène de Saint-Germain
17th-century mansion · Paris 4e
Hélène has kept the family hôtel particulier alive for three generations. She cooks from her grandmother's handwritten recipe book and never serves the same menu twice.
Baron Jean-Baptiste de Valois
Fontainebleau estate · Fontainebleau
Jean-Baptiste opens the orangerie of his family château a few evenings each season, for the pleasure of good company and better Burgundy.
Camille & Antoine Moreau
hunting pavilion · Vallée de Chevreuse
Camille is a cellist, Antoine a historian. Together they turn their hunting pavilion into a private concert hall for one night at a time.
Chef Margaux Lefèvre
private townhouse kitchen · Paris 7e
Margaux trained in two-star kitchens before deciding she preferred cooking for eight people she could actually talk to.
Famille de Villarceaux
country estate · Vexin
The family has farmed and gardened this estate for two hundred years and cooks almost entirely from what grows beyond the terrace.
Lucie Fontaine
artist's apartment · Paris 18e
Lucie is a painter who throws the best dinners in Montmartre from a studio apartment under the eaves.
AI can generate images, music, videos and conversations. It cannot replace the feeling of a crowd at a concert, a performance in a 17th-century courtyard, or an unexpected evening shared with strangers. Technology should not replace human connection — it should make it easier.
DISCOVER · MEET · EXPERIENCE · LIVE
Your house has a story. Let it host an evening.
Château, hôtel particulier, atelier or farmhouse — if your walls have something to say, we bring you a table of curious guests and handle everything but the welcome. A new kind of evening, and a new kind of revenue.
