42ème édition Fêtes Guillaume

Do we still need to introduce them? For over 40 years now, the Association des Fêtes Guillaume has been organizing this not-to-be-missed event in July. For a weekend, the old town returns to its taverns, where beggars and lords feast to the glory of William the Conqueror.
Take in the medieval encampment and sword fights, stock up on provisions at the medieval market, attend a costumed mass, dance at the ball... In short, relive history!
