Medieval tales with Sire Pascal of the Pestaculaire Company

Half storyteller, half actor, Sire Pascal moves from one character to another while telling the story. Example of a tale: The dragon of the Fire Island or how Enguerrand the Brave became Enguerrand the First Knight, powerful and full of self-confidence. The young Enguerrand de Hautecimeveut conquers the title of First Knight of the Realm by bringing back to the King the head of the dragon that was terrorizing the inhabitants of the Fire Island. During his quest, he learns that it is not always easy to distinguish between friend and foe, and that sometimes one has to choose between one’s ambitions and one’s knightly values.

Cooperage with the “Art and Tonneaux” Company

In a medieval stall, Cyrilles Dumoutier reconstructs a workshop for the manufacture of barrels. You will discover all the stages and secrets of the manufacture of barrels, buckets, etc. This interactive and educational activity allows everyone to try out their skill at assembling a barrel and delicately placing the bases.

Demonstration of the profession of surgeon with Arthus

The desire to cure your loved ones is overwhelming… Medical schools are a long way away and inaccessible. The solution? Become a surgeon!
