Two days to experience the rhythm of the Middle Ages
For two days, the parks of Ramie and the Rosenberg Couples will be completely transformed. As soon as you step inside, you’ll see costumes from the era, hear sounds of medieval instruments, and watch demonstrations of ancient skills. Throughout the day, visitors can enjoy medieval shows, listen to live music, meet passionate craftsmen, and discover their manufacturing techniques, some of which haven’t changed in centuries. It’s a real immersion that will charm history enthusiasts and anyone looking for a unique outing near Lille.
Fights, entertainment, and a medieval market
It’s impossible to talk about a medieval festival without mentioning knights. There will be combat demonstrations and various animations throughout the weekend, while the younger ones can enjoy plenty of games and activities specially designed for them.
Imagine for them. In between shows, we'll also take the time to wander through the medieval market, where artisans and exhibitors will showcase objects, creations, and products inspired by the era. All of this in a friendly atmosphere where you can easily spend several hours... without noticing the time fly by.Voir cette publication sur Instagram
Eat, drink... and why not come in costume?
No need to plan a picnic: several dining areas will allow you to lunch or snack on-site throughout the day. And to really get into the spirit, costumed visitors will even enjoy a discounted price. It's a great reason to pull out your cape, corset, or armor (if you happen to have one hanging in your closet). The cherry on top: dogs are also welcome, as long as they're on a leash.
