Dive at the beginning of the thirteenth century in Tours, under the reign of Philippe Auguste, during an immersive visit accompanied by Mahaut, the intrepid daughter of a crusader militiaman. Embodied by your guide speaker dressed in period combat clothing, explore together a city with a rich past.
Soak up the dual identity of Tours, with the bishop ruling over his cathedral to the east and the spiritual and economic bud of Martinopole to the west. As the bells ring, feel the dust of the streets and the energy of the pilgrims converging on the sacred relics of Saint Martin.
Discover how money, faith and steel woven together the fabric of this vibrant era. Mahaut breaks the chains of medieval stereotypes about the role of women while fiercely protecting the treasures of his city. Join her and wield the sword of knowledge as you walk the medieval streets of Tours!
The visit is conducted in period costume for an immersion in the heart of history.
