Edition 2024 — Percheval

The 2024 edition of Percheval took place on May 9th and 10th at Château Saint-Jean in Nogent-le-Rotrou for the Ascension weekend. Demonstrations of Percheron horses, medieval encampments, workshops, knight combats, troubadours, and a medieval banquet animated the 11th-century fortress.

Percheval 2024 - Ascension Weekend

For the Ascension 2024 weekend, Château Saint-Jean in Nogent-le-Rotrou hosted another edition of Percheval. Visitors could witness demonstrations of the Percheron horse at work, explore the historical encampments and medieval artisans set up within the castle grounds.

The knight combats, musical entertainment by troubadours, and participatory workshops (archery, calligraphy, coat of arms creation) delighted families. The medieval banquet on Saturday evening under the Abbey of Saint-Denis was a highlight of this edition.
