About Bataille de Castillon
La Bataille de Castillon, History brought to life
La Bataille de Castillon is a grandiose historical show that reenacts the battle of 1453, a decisive event that ended the Hundred Years' War and English domination in Aquitaine. Performed every summer on the very site of the battle, in Belvès-de-Castillon, this show is the largest in Aquitaine.
600 volunteers and 40 horsemen
Over 600 volunteers and 40 horsemen participate in this epic historical reenactment, under the direction of director Éric Le Collen. The battle scenes, cavalry charges, and pyrotechnic effects create a spectacle of striking realism.
The Aliénor Medieval Park
Before the show, visitors can explore the Aliénor Park, a reconstructed medieval village with artisans, entertainment, and medieval catering. The park opens at 4 PM for complete immersion in the medieval world.
An epic night show
The show takes place at dusk, starting at 10 PM, using the fading natural light and pyrotechnic effects to create a dramatic and immersive atmosphere.
