PLUNGE INTO A FASCINATING WORLD!
À toute vapeur, the Steampunk Festival returns for a third edition

Ladies and Gentlemen, get your period costumes and cog-wheeled inventions ready, polish your monocles and embark on another extraordinary journey through time. On March 14 and 15, 2026, Europe's largest railway museum invites visitors to plunge into a fascinating retro-futuristic universe, where Victorian elegance merges with fantastic steam engines.

What is Steampunk? This cultural movement, inspired by the works of Jules Verne, reinvents a spectacular 19th century, far more technologically advanced than it was. Improbable machines, refined costumes and extravagant adventures make up this timeless universe, which is sure to amaze you!

Whether you're in costume or not, take part in a unique festive event that's not to be missed.

An event organized in partnership with the French Steampunk association, to be enjoyed with family, friends or solo, and sure to appeal to young and old with wild imaginations.
