The Eagles of the Ramparts

Hear ye! Hear ye, brave visitors! History buffs and fans of the medieval era are invited to Provins from 28 March to 1 November 2026 to experience full-scale, open-air hunts with birds of prey as practised by the great lords in the days of the knights.

The art of Falconry with horses

Inside the ramparts of the famous medieval city, discover the world of this ancestral practice, which consists of hunting animals with the help of trained birds of prey. Practised by communities all over the world and passed down from generation to generation, hunting with birds of prey became a true way of life for nomads in Central Asia and the Middle East, and was at its peak in France during the Middle Ages. The falconers and professional horsemen of the Vol Libre company will reveal the secrets of this custom.
