The medieval festival of Chinon
Do you have a warrior's spirit? Experience the thrill of a horse show or simply chat with a knight.
Stroll between the craftsmen's stalls, stop to sample medieval cuisine, admire the work of a goldsmith, watch some funny juggling performances or be charmed by the sounds of oriental music!
Three days of activities and shows for the whole family, presentations in French but very visual!
