Overview

Immerse yourself in the heart of the 15th century, in the middle of the Hundred Years War, and let yourself be guided by Peppin Le Breton, a man at arms dedicated to the defense of Mont Saint-Michel. Relive the intensity of the siege of 1434, a critical moment when the fortress almost fell to the English.

Explore the ramparts, watchtowers, slings and secret passages of this citadel. Listen to the story of your armored guide, who transports you between battles, relations with monks, smuggling networks and bombings. This historical immersion will allow you to demystify the misconceptions about the Middle Ages while discovering the daily life of a besieged garrison.

Embark on a journey through time, to the sounds of the rattling of weapons and stories of heroism that have marked our history. Get ready to rediscover this rough and fascinating time!
