Prepare for a true leap into time: propelled back to the winter of 1304, you will join a noble lord to defend the ramparts of the largest fortified city in Europe. Totally immersed in a teeming universe, you will witness thrilling intrigues, the growing influence of the Inquisition, and intense military training. A true historical epic to experience with family or friends, to feel the intensity of the Middle Ages like never before.
Wander the winding streets, soak up the flavors and colors of the local market, climb the ramparts, and observe soldiers in training. In this turbulent era, let your intuition and choices guide you. Every corner of the city has been recreated with remarkable historical and architectural accuracy, for a true-to-life immersion.
Designed by Excurio and the Centre des Monuments Nationaux, this immersive expedition combines history, intrigue, and emotion. The Middle Ages have never been so close, so real. There's only one thing left to do: book your place now to experience this unforgettable adventure!
From a narrative point of view, the balance between historical facts and fiction has been carefully crafted in order to best recreate the tensions of the winter of 1304, marked by the arrival of Philip the Fair. From spectator, you become an actor in a key chapter of History.
I had the pleasure of imagining with the artistic teams and the 3D designers of Excurio this living fresco which depicts with an unprecedented wealth of details the daily life of the medieval city at the height of its fortifications. We ensured with our expert archaeologists and historians the accuracy of the architectural and landscape reconstructions as well as the educational scope of the staging.
