The medieval town of Provins, a Unesco World Heritage Site for over 10 years, will once again be the scene of one of Europe's biggest medieval festivals, for a weekend on June 1 and 2, 2024.
In the town of Saint-Maur-des-Fossés lies a little gem, an ancient abbey founded in 639, of which only the ruins remain today, and which can be admired on guided tours organized by the Société d'histoire et d'archéologie de Saint-Maur.
If you can't make it to Provins to attend the largest medieval festival in France, enjoy the one in Nogent-sur-Marne with knights' fights and a falconry show, on May 13 and 14, 2023!
Leave Paris for a bit to go to Yvelines and discover the medieval city of Houdan and its medieval remnants surprisingly well-kept, between dungeon, ramparts and old inns.
