Clara & Philipp invite you to a three-day celebration of love, sound and freedom.
Where and how to get there
Château d'Alleret, 43308 Saint-Privat-du-Dragon, France
The bedrooms are in sizes of 2–8 beds. There is ample space for camping, and you can access the campground with a van. There's no electricity or water connection for RVs.
Getting there
Château d'Alleret is located between large national parks in the region of Auvergne, making it not so easy to reach.
By car
Coming from Germany, there are several feasible routes via Nancy and Dijon (A31), or Mulhouse (A36) and Dole (N73), which meet after Chalon-sur-Saône and can then be continued either via Clermont-Ferrand via Vichy (E607, D994, D2009), or via Lyon (A6, A89) and then travel south on A75.
From Switzerland: another option is to pass south of Lyon toward Saint-Étienne (A47), and then toward Le Puy (N88), connecting to N102 via D902 for the final leg.
By train
From the north, all connections run through Clermont-Ferrand, where you can take the local train or bus (TER) to La Chomette or Paulhaguet, which are both 8 minutes by car from Château d'Alleret — and we're happy to organise a pick-up.
A three-day celebration of love, sound and freedom
Our Love Fest is neither a conventional wedding nor an ordinary festival. It is a celebration of, for, and with our family and friends. We don't wish for gifts — only that you are there with us. In exchange for being part of it, we also ask that you make a financial contribution, set in solidarity according to your own socio-economic situation. Further details are below.
Being part of it can also mean contributing in the form of help during the celebration. This is voluntary, and could, for example, be a bar shift, an individual creative or artistic contribution, decorating, a clean-up shift, or helping chop vegetables for dinner. You can join us for anywhere between three and five days — the idea being that whoever stays longer helps with the set-up beforehand. Whether you join for three days or five, food, drink, and accommodation for your entire stay at Château d'Alleret are fully included, covered by your help and your financial contribution.
| Stay | Dates | What it means |
|---|---|---|
| 3 days | Wednesday 28 – Saturday 31 July | The celebration itself — from apéro through the final party. |
| 4 days | Tuesday 27 – Saturday 31 July | Arrive a day early and lend a hand with set-up on the 27th. |
| 5 days | Monday 26 – Saturday 31 July | The full stretch, helping with set-up and decorating on the 26th and 27th. Anyone helping is welcome to arrive on Sunday the 25th. |
Everyone must depart by 11am on Saturday 31 July.
Solidarity contribution
The financial contribution is around €250 per adult. Children under 16 need not contribute financially. Suggestions for how much you might contribute are set out in the table below.
| Level | Description | Contribution | Net income | Assets |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Low solidarity price | €150 | < €1,400 | < €10,000 |
| 2 | Reduced | €200 | €1,400 – 2,200 | €10,000 – 30,000 |
| 3 | Standard | €250 | €2,200 – 3,500 | €30,000 – 100,000 |
| 4 | High solidarity price | €300 | > €3,500 | > €100,000 |
Which level applies to me?
Below are a few pointers to help you judge which contribution level would be appropriate for you.
The first indicator is your income and assets — where possible, choose the higher level corresponding to your net income or assets. When counting assets, include real estate (but not owner-occupied housing), bank and savings balances (but not tied-up retirement savings), securities, and other tradable assets such as cryptocurrencies or artwork.
You may deviate downward from the level your income or assets would otherwise indicate if one or more of the following apply to you:
- you are a single parent;
- you have a disability;
- you live with a chronic illness;
- your mental health is currently affected, or you are going through a life crisis;
- your housing situation is insecure or precarious;
- your work situation is insecure or precarious;
- or you are seeking asylum or undocumented (“sans papiers”).
We trust your judgment and your sense of solidarity in making this assessment, and are happy to answer any questions. If participation isn't possible for someone even at the low solidarity price for financial reasons, please reach out to us directly.
Would you like to contribute even more, above the highest solidarity level? Go for it — let us know, and we'll think of an extra thank-you.
