Go back in time during the Medieval Festival
Who hasn't dreamt of exploring the past in the days of banquets, lordships, knights and fortresses...? In the Tarn, at Cordes sur Ciel, it is customary to banquet as in the olden days: feasting, and drinking traditional hippocras (wine mixed with sugar and spices) are the order of the day, or rather the weekend!
Discover the medieval town of Cordes-sur-Ciel during the Great Falconer's Festival
Come and take a step back in time by participating in the famous medieval festival of a 13th century town. Each year, there's a parade of medieval costumes, horse-drawn carriages, fire-eaters, troubadours and jugglers to the sound of tambourin drums, fiddles, bagpipes and other medieval musical instruments.
Knights and ladies parade and court each other – come and meet them. The Great Falconer's Medieval Festival invites you to marvel at the authenticity of a very special town and the fabulous entertainment that's on offer during the two days of the festival!
Try out blacksmithing, a job that dates back more than 2,000 years; calligraphy if you feel like writing beautiful letters; or medieval cuisine whose cooking methods and delicacies might remind you of old family recipes.
