A true voyage through 1500 years of Parisian life, thanks to a multi-eque village animated by actors and craftsmen in period dress, stone sculptors, jewelers and wood carvers, for initiations and demonstrations, as well as a costume parade from the Pantheon and numerous exceptional animations to make you believe you're in another dimension. Everything is free, except for dinner and the ball, where you can feast with family and friends in period costume for even more immersion.
