Far from the usual clichés about the crusades, Asnapio invites the Lords of the East to present all the diversity and richness of the medieval near-eastern world. The brilliance of silks and brocades, the quality of coats of mail and Frankish swords, swords and lamellar armor, the comfort of carpets and cushions, ... All this under a khaïma tent unique in France!
More than 45 speakers in complete historical costumes will evoke the court of the king of Jerusalem in the 12th century and the warriors of the Mongol steppes of the 13th century. In the largest ever encampment at the park, reenactors will talk about armaments, hygiene and health, minting, trade and spices.
Military shows, ceremonial ceremonies related to chivalry and fashion shows will follow one another on Saturday and Sunday.
Sam: military show and knighting at 3:30 pm, tribute ceremony and fashion show at 4:30 pm, military show at 5:15 pm.
Sun: military show at 11:30, military show and knighting at 3 p.m., fashion show and tribute ceremony at 6 p.m.
The Military Hospital and Teutonic Orders will also be presented, including the art of combat, for which engaged duels will be carried out by fighters confirmed in AMHE (European Historical Martial Arts). Activities for young people will invite children to do combat maneuvers, shoot with bow or with the help of mini-ballists.
Between tales, music, songs and street theater, the show "Yolda!" will offer a poetic journey inspired by the Silk Road and nomadic traditions. Accompanied by a real-size camel puppet, the musicians, storytellers and singers will walk among visitors and invite them to symbolically entrust their "ailments" to the animal, which will transform them into stories, songs, music and messages of hope. A collective, sensitive and joyful experience!
