🙂 This looks like fun!!
The 40th Medieval Festival of Provins, known as "Les Médiévales de Provins," is scheduled to take place on June 14 and 15, 2025, in the UNESCO World Heritage-listed medieval town of Provins, located in the Seine-et-Marne department of Île-de-France, about 80 km southeast of Paris.
This annual event, one of the largest #medieval festivals in Europe, celebrates its 40th anniversary in 2025
The festival transforms the fortified town into a living historical tableau, featuring a wide array of activities and performances. Expect to encounter troubadours, minstrels, jugglers, acrobats, and stilt-walkers roaming the cobblestone streets, alongside artisans and merchants showcasing medieval crafts such as leatherwork, stone carving, textiles, and spices. The event includes medieval games for all ages—like shuffleboard, skittles, and wooden swordplay—plus workshops on calligraphy, illumination, and combat techniques. Highlights include the traditional medieval ball on Saturday night at Place du Châtel, a grand medieval concert, and the iconic Sunday parade, featuring over 700 participants in period costumes, winding through the town’s historic ramparts and towers. Provins’ well-preserved medieval architecture, including the Tour César and Saint-Quiriace Collegiate Church, provides a stunning backdrop.
The festival kicks off at 9:30 AM each day, with Saturday extending into a festive nocturne. Visitors are encouraged to dress in complete medieval attire—headpiece, top, pants, and shoes—for a discounted entry fee (fantasy-inspired costumes are also welcome), enhancing the immersive experience.
