The Medieval Troupe of the Guide

Armor and swords this summer at the Château de Commarque

Warrior troop, the Guild of the Frog takes possession of the Fortress of Commarque this summer and offers visitors an immersion in the warlike history of our ancestors. Immerse yourself in the world of a nomadic 14th century troupe which is not at its first assault. You will be able to discover their rich booty composed of weapons forged by masters, clothes cut in thick fabrics embroidered and trimmed by a recognized craftsman. But also noble wooden chests, hand-forged fittings and Dagobert armchairs. From August 14 to 24, every day, discover the life of a medieval troop and shiver in front of real fighters equipped with authentic medieval armor and weapons.

Animation included in the price of the entrance ticket.
