The Montbazon Archeosite project aim to offer the public a high experience.
Live a total immersion in the medieval world.
Mixing both the know-how and tools of the medieval time, based on solid historical and scientific foundations, the Archeosite of Montbazon will be a space for experimental archaeology allowing history to come to life before your eyes.
A footbridge will link the Fortress and the current car park, where a medieval village will born, composed by thirty 13th century inspired houses. In this village, the most emblematic crafts of the time will be presented.
A church will also be built in the same village, where events such as concerts and seminars will take place. Accommodation will also be available for schoolchildren.
​
The aim of this project is to build a high human experience and sharing it with young and not-so-young throughout workshops and life-sized discovery activities.
