Medieval Animations of Larressingle

Larressingle: The Middle Ages in Gascony

Larressingle, the smallest fortified village in France, hosts medieval animations every summer that transport visitors to the 13th century. The medieval siege camp, set up at the foot of the ramparts, brings medieval warfare techniques and crafts back to life.

Siege Camp

The siege camp recreates a medieval encampment with its war machines (trebuchets, battering rams), knightly tents, and artisan workshops. Spectacular demonstrations of archery and siege warfare are offered to the public.

Medieval Evenings

Every Sunday during the summer, festive evenings are organized at the siege camp with music, shows, and a medieval atmosphere. Themed night markets add a touch of conviviality.
