A unique historical show
The Baladins du Comté de Taillebourg are a troupe of actors who have been telling, in an original and bold way, the great events and characters that have shaped the history of this medieval fortress perched on its rocky spur, overlooking the Charente and its valley.
2025 Edition: From Drakkar to Chariots
For five evenings, the Baladins present their new show "From Drakkar to Chariots" where Landry, Count of Saintes, and Harald, a Viking who stayed in Taillebourg in 845, clash over a mysterious object with absolute powers. Their battles propel them into a temporal whirlwind towards unknown eras, in the heart of a suffering France.
