On 7 hectares of the Castegens Castle scenic area, within cannon range of the original battleground, 600 volunteers, including nearly 50 cavalrymen, take part in this large-scale historical re-enactment. Beyond the feats of arms, these intense 90 minutes of outdoor night show, waterfalls and pyrotechnic effects bring us back into the life in the Middle Ages, between farms and inns, women at the well, grape harvest scenes, acrobats, tooth pullers and street vendors.
