Les Médiévales de Suscinio

Les Médiévales de Suscinio: Relive the Middle Ages at the Dukes' Castle

Every May, the Domaine de Suscinio in Sarzeau opens its doors for a journey back in time with Les Médiévales de Suscinio. This 13th-century castle, a former hunting lodge of the Dukes of Brittany, provides a majestic and authentic setting for this historical festival.

Two Days of Medieval Epic

For two days, the castle and its grounds host a program rich in entertainment and shows:

• Knightly Shows with the Écuyers de l'Histoire and other reenactment groups
• Historical Encampments showcasing daily life in the Middle Ages
• Participatory Workshops: archery, calligraphy, blacksmithing, weaving
• Medieval Market with artisan crafts and merchants
• Medieval Music and Dances
• Period Scenes and Processions in historical costumes
• Medieval Banquets and Flavors

An Exceptional Castle

The Château de Suscinio, owned by the department of Morbihan and managed by Kléber Rossillon, is one of Brittany's most visited monuments. Its imposing ramparts, moats, chapel, and restored halls offer a spectacular backdrop for medieval events. Castle visits (self-guided or with audio guide) are included in the Médiévales entrance ticket.

A Preserved Natural Setting

The Domaine de Suscinio is surrounded by a protected natural area: marshes, dunes, and coastal forest form an exceptional landscape between the Golfe du Morbihan and the Atlantic Ocean. Visitors can extend their discovery with a walk along the estate's trails.
