Set against a magnificent backdrop, the script and original music give the story its full meaning.
Thanks to the many lighting effects, you'll find yourself alternately in the intimacy of a cloister, in the heart of a large market or on a large battlefield.
Image projection, sound, cannon fire, pyrotechnics and special effects complete the immersion into the heart of the Middle Ages. But above all, the Battle of Castillon is a living spectacle. With hundreds of volunteer actors, soldiers and stuntmen, and powerful cavalry, a great page of history unfolds live before the public.
Under the gaze of the great Eleanor of Aquitaine, young and old alike travel back to the time of the troubadours and knights.
