There were 1,600 people at the start, but that was without counting the TV effect! HAS Begard Christian Prodhomme and his wife Christiane have been victims of their success since their time on France 3 and TF1: “From 1,600, we went to 6,000! » Not to mention word of mouth.

14 years of open doors and new decorations every year, their 3,000 m² land becomes a real amusement park when December comes.

The whole world in light

Christian Prodhomme first explains his passion for illuminations through a childhood frustration:

My parents were castle guards. There was no Christmas or presents.

Then, it was his professional life that would make his idea grow: “I was chef at the National Geographic Institute. » With 900 seats in the restaurant room. At the time, he received photos from all over the world, posters, brochures, which he carefully preserved.

Christiane gradually became associated with decorations through her sense of tidying up: “For 43 years, I worked at the Galeries Lafayette. I know how to arrange things on the shelves. There are ways to adjust colors, heights. »

From June

To decorate and illuminate the garden, work begins at the start of summer, says Christiane: “With the Olympics, we had a lot of things to do. We never do the same, the themes change every year. »

Brocéliande, under the snow, emerges from a cabin that we thought was empty. The North Pole and its polar bear are not far from the ducks, real ones, splashing in the water.
