“ Les Médiévales were born from an idea of the Association of Parents of Schools in the town and the local history society, keen to introduce the castle, the town’s heritage. », recalls Lina Notredame, president of the Les Médiévales association. An eclectic program is offered to visitors. For two days they will be able to stock up on supplies at the medieval market, visit the camp, take part in heraldry, embroidery or purse-making workshops to store their shields (or euros), follow equestrian events, attend skits , try your hand at archery at the Somain archers club stand… Games and activities also await the children.
