Provins, it breathes the Middle Ages

marcelsE7115IO, Aug 2023

Provins is a very nice town that we visited on August 2 (see: Fun fact). You immediately feel like you're in the Middle Ages when you walk around. The octagonal tower Tour César is really fun to climb. A short animated film about the origins of Provins is shown at the bottom of the tower. Also visit the medieval bookstore Le Roy Lire at the bottom of the cellar. Located at number 9 Rue de Jouy.

Fun fact:

After the victory over the English, Joan of Arc convinces Charles VII to go to Reims to be crowned king. Not an easy task, because Reims was still occupied by the English at that time. But Reims is recaptured without much difficulty. And on July 17, 1429, Charles VII was officially crowned King of France, in the presence of Joan of Arc.

After his coronation, King Charles VII travels to Provins together with Joan of Arc. They stay there from August 2 (!) to August 5, 1429.

Traités comme des boeufs

marawaanp, Jun 2022

Très déçu cette année par les Médiévales de Provins que je fréquente pourtant régulièrement depuis leur création.

L'afflux post Covid n'a pas été anticipé et la gestion des flux mal géré.

Nous avons par conséquent passé notre temps à faire du sur place dans les rues et à attendre des dizaines de minutes tout autant pour déjeuner que pour aller aux toilettes.

Grosse frustration des enfants, épuisés par ces attentes et qui n'ont pu rien faire de sympa.

Parallèlement, la dimension médiévale est de plus en plus détournée au profit de costumes fantaisistes relevant plus du jeu "grandeur nature" ou de la mode dite "gothique".

Mettez des quotas l'année prochaine !

La cité de Thibaut de Champagne

Il est toujours aussi agréable de flâner en ville haute et de parcourir les rues médiévales aux maisons si bien restaurés.
