The story of Belfort is full of important characters. Follow in their footsteps and be surprised by their adventures told in the History Museum by Christian Waldner, a well-known comedian from Belgium. On the occasion of the presentation of the medal of the siege of 1870-1871, a mysterious visitor discovers for the first time the Museum of History and remembers different facts of this terrible event. During this show you meet, among others, Colonel Aristide Denfert-Rochereau, great defender of the square, Auguste Bartholdi, artist who knew how to magnify the memory of the siege of Belfort, and you learn at the end of your wandering that your servant is none other than Louis Lépine, famous police prefect who made his first weapons in Belfort! An exciting and emotionally charged story!
