    Très belle expérience de ce week-end ! Le site est incroyable. Catapultes, tir à l'arc, tir à l'arbalète, combats d'épées, grue de l'époque, et j'en passe ! Tout est fais pour passer un super moment et découvrir les armes de l'époque en totale immersion. Le guide est fantastique et passionné ! Je recommande ce lieu les yeux fermés ! Encore merci pour ce moment unique et riche en émotions 🤗 Belle saison à vous !

    Un moment très agréable hors du temps, le guide est passionné et nous transporte dans l'univers du moyen-âge. Nous avons testé toutes les machines et les différent armes (arbalète, arc, hache). Nous reviendrons avec plaisir et le château à proximité vaut vraiment le coup d'œil.

    Awesome ! The place is great!! A great discovery of the medieval camps with all the medieval weapons that we can try. Costumes are a real plus for children. We did it with 2 children, almost 4 years old and 1.5 years old, they loved it. The guide is really great! Thanks to him! He adapts, is patient with the children and makes us experience things.
