Les Médiévales du Château de Thillombois

Total immersion in the Middle Ages

The Médiévales du Château de Thillombois offer a unique experience: two days of complete immersion in the Middle Ages. Organized by the association Connaissance de la Meuse, this event transforms the park and castle of Thillombois into a true living medieval village, with over 130 costumed participants animating the grounds from morning to night.

Knight Tournaments and Battles

The grand knight tournaments are the highlight of the event. The Compagnie Icario presents breathtaking jousts and equestrian demonstrations, several times a day. Armored combat, animated by the companies Lotharii Regnum and other reenactment troupes, offers an impressive display of medieval combat techniques.

Music and Shows

Musicians in period costumes roam the grounds, playing on copies of medieval instruments displayed inside the castle. Acrobats, jugglers, and jesters entertain in the park alleys, recreating the festive atmosphere of a medieval fair. A special show for young audiences, such as "The Secret of the Unicorn Goat", delights the little ones.

Encampments and Workshops

Numerous medieval encampments are set up in the castle park, offering a fascinating glimpse into daily life in the Middle Ages. Visitors can observe demonstrations of medieval cooking, archery, blacksmithing, weaving, and learn about the operation of a medieval cannon. Creative workshops allow children to discover the arts and crafts of the era.

Medieval Banquets

One of the event's highlights is the medieval banquet, served on Saturday evening and Sunday lunchtime by reservation. For €28 per adult and €13 per child, guests enjoy a menu inspired by medieval recipes, accompanied by drinks, in a festive and musical atmosphere. For those preferring a lighter option, a quick service area offers sandwiches, quiches, and crepes.
