Madame Homard organises sexy dance parties in exclusive locations across Europe, and her motto — quality is a choice — is the whole proposition. The parties are held in castles and five-star hotels, the resident DJs carry the room through the night on sensual dance music, and the guest list is closed: tickets are personalised, sold to a name list, non-transferable, and never available at the door.

Its flagship concept is Eyes Wide Shut, a masked party that has been running since at least December 2023 and now fills a castle at each edition. The venue is deliberately withheld — guests receive the exact location and the practical details the evening before — and that secrecy is part of the format rather than a marketing tease: editions are booked with hotel rooms in the castle itself or a wellness hotel minutes away, with shuttles between them.

The door policy is firm and published in advance. Couples and single ladies only — men on their own are refused at the door. The dress code is enforced, with jeans and trainers explicitly not tolerated; masks are compulsory at Eyes Wide Shut and can be bought at the entrance. The organiser states an age guideline of 21 to 50 rather than a hard limit, bans photography except by the official photographers, and reserves the right to search guests. There are no cash refunds — a cancelled place becomes credit valid for a year.

One thing to be clear about, because the setting suggests otherwise: sexual acts are forbidden at every Madame Homard party. It is a dress-up dance party in a spectacular building, for people who want the atmosphere of a masked ball rather than a play party. Editions sell out well in advance and the organiser runs a waiting list by email. Browse EroticAdvisor for the next Madame Homard edition and its dress code.
