Welcome to the Middle Ages
To preserve interesting history and to share the wealth of an era that we know so little about, the Tourist Office and the GEMA association will turn the resort into a medieval village over a Sunday afternoon at the end of the summer : fossil chipping, the blacksmith’s forge, spinning, weaving, plants, cooking, emblems, games from the olden days, historical combats all in an artistic and musical atmosphere.
