Les Médiévales de Provins, France’s biggest medieval festival!
A UNESCO World Heritage Site since 2001, the town of Provins celebrates its 40th Médiévales this June. For two days, troubadours, acrobats and crowd entertainers will take the public on a timeless experience. On the program for these two days of medieval folklore: an introduction to the “Arts of War” with fights and games, medieval music and the discovery of period trades. On site, craftsmen will reveal their skills to the public, teaching them the art of pottery, calligraphy and even blacksmithing. Dances, music, games, street shows… all these activities will be a feast for the eyes of young and old alike. Other festival classics include the traditional Bal Médiéval in the Place du Châtel, a huge medieval concert, and the legendary Sunday parade featuring 700 people in period costume.
