Agenda

Like stuntmen and actors in swashbuckler films, children
and adults, wearing a harness, can act out a dream: climbing a medieval tower! In groups of 4 we’ll set off to storm the fortress. Be bold, valiant knights !

Exhibition of a 1/72 scale model of Bayeux Castle from east to west in the 13th century, a castle mound and its enclosure (fortification from 10th to 12th centuries), and a model of the castle of Osaka in Japan.

Like all princesses, Benjadra was given a tower when she turned 16, where of course she has to remain a prisoner until a prince, who will naturally be charming, comes to rescue her... But she’s bored because no-one can reach her thanks to the dragon and bearded giant – until the day a carrier pigeon turns up at her tower by mistake.

Traditional Norman dances and songs accompanied by a hurdy-gurdy.

Skilled craftsmen and journeymen share their ancestral know-how in building:
blacksmiths, stone masons, sculptors, carpenters…..

The fauns dance, run and jump through towns and undergrowth. The fairies follow them close behind, whirling with their sparkling wings.
Together, they are magical.

The Aouta companions bring sunshine to cobbled squares, cause tavern counters to shake and the crowds to stroll around, bringing
a festive atmosphere of yesteryear to the streets. Set off on a musical journey with the various spices of the Mediterranean.

This quartet is inspired by ancient music from the Orient and medieval Europe. The music could be peddled or even danced on the roads, from taverns to village squares, from lordly courts to princely banquets.

Traditional wooden toys and games for all children. Discover the rich heritage of play with various games of shuffleboard, bowls, skill and balance - games that are always fun for all generations.

Children can help to build a Middle Ages house. They’ll make cob, a mixture of earth and straw, which they’ll then put on the walls of the house. The youngest children (1 year upwards) can use brushes to spread clay on the walls of the other house.

Tom Tom and Oscar, our two mischievous sprites, are inspired by a traditional tale to draw the youngest children into a world of lumberjacks, slightly mad fairies and polluted rivers.

It’s said that every seventy years Orin, the guardian of the Wood Up There, has to make the ”Tro ar Goadoù”, the tour of the seven sacred forests. Following her are the worthy representatives of the Fairy people of Huelgoat.
You can see them walking together.

Making things with what’s beneath our feet ; using our hands as our main tool ; carrying nothing but our know-how. Dame Béatrice leads an interactive activity on the work of the potter: introduction and demonstrations of throwing, and the satisfaction of leaving with something you’ve made with your own hands.

Princess Petronilla is on a quest for Love, but there’s no way she’s going to stay at the castle and wait for the suitors her parents have chosen for her.
She travels around the country in her mobile tower, accompanied by her faithful follower Jeannette and her greedy guard Ventrèche.

Dame Nadia’s hand-produced wicker objects, made from wicker that she grows herself, are inspired by the landscapes of Normandy.

gylus and Ladzo, self-mockery on the one hand and juggling tool on the other. The recipe is simple: spread conventional juggling on a slice of text with some Devos sauce, add two spoonfuls of sarcasm sprinkled with humour, and bake at a temperature of ‘laugh’.

The company presents the world of farming and the peasantry during the 12th century: they’ll show you a medieval cart and harrow as well as domestic work in wood, textiles and metal.

Tom Tom the protector of water courses, and the great Professor Oscar will tell the story of the expedition they have carried out in search of a strange creature, the spirit of a nature that is under threat.
