Medieval Festival of Rouffignac

The Black Périgord in Medieval Colors

Every spring, the village of Rouffignac-Saint-Cernin-de-Reilhac dons its medieval attire to host the Medievales of Rouffignac. This popular event transforms the streets of the Black Périgord village into a true medieval town for a weekend, with entertainment for the whole family.

Equestrian Shows and Tournaments

The highlight of the festival is the equestrian shows and knight tournaments that punctuate the two days. Knights in armor clash in spectacular jousts before a captivated audience. Continuous medieval entertainment—combats, weapon demonstrations, fire-eaters—completes the program.

An Artisan Market and Family Entertainment

An artisan market offers items made using ancestral techniques: leather, wood, wrought iron, medieval jewelry. Children can enjoy a mini-farm, pony rides, and adapted medieval games. The medieval tavern offers food and drinks throughout the day, and medieval meals are available by reservation on Saturday evening and Sunday lunchtime.
