Giant masks at the heart of the Carnival

In the historic area of the Park, majestic giant masks catch everyone’s eye. True works of art, specially created for the Park by the talented Belgian artists Dominique Maghue and Karolyne Hoc, they bring a spectacular and festive touch to the Carnival atmosphere. Their colours, shapes and details spark curiosity and invite photography, turning a simple stroll into a full artistic discovery. A surprising encounter between imagination, tradition and an enchanting setting.

Carnival essentials: masks and face painting

Quote

Every year during Carnival, the youngest visitors look forward to two must-haves that set the rhythm of the visit. At the entrance, the mask distribution immediately sets the tone, allowing children to dive into the festive atmosphere from the very first moment, with a simple accessory to join them on their journey through the Park. Another family favourite is the face painting stand. This activity, now a well-loved tradition, offers children a special moment focused on Carnival face-painting. It naturally fits into the visit, extends the festive spirit and leaves everyone with a joyful memory of this period.
