How to dress?
The Thiré atmosphere is certainly relaxed! What matters is that you feel at ease, so we invite you to dress comfortably and wear flat shoes that will allow you to move around the gardens without difficulty.
During the day, light clothing and hats are recommended to protect you from the sun, while evenings can be chilly, so be sure to bring something to cover up, especially if you are attending concerts on the Water Mirror (Miroir d'eau).
What to take with you to the Festival?
The must-haves to remember :
- a reusable water bottle to quench your thirst
- a hat to protect yourself from the sun
- a folding seat if you have difficulty remaining standing (for Afternoons in the Gardens)
- a plaid or sweater for cooler evenings
