Immersion in the Middle Ages - We enjoyed this immersion in the heart of the 15th century. The Guide managed to transport us to the Middle Ages, we were captivated. The Guide knew her field very well and she answered all the questions that were asked, which is amazing! Bravo! Also, I would like to point out that sometimes there are Guide who pay close attention to the time it is to string together the visits, but this Costume Guide is not at all like this and this is where we notice that it is passionate. She has not seen the past time but neither have we! Thank you for visiting.

Very nice visit - Great visit despite the few inconveniences due to the party along the ramparts. Our guide, who came especially from the Middle Ages, was fascinating. A great discovery that I recommend.

A great discovery - It was a very nice discovery. I had a good time, an escape into another era due to the costume, the materials used and above all the skill of the guide. The setting of the town of Dinan, its wooden houses, the small streets are a perfect setting to forget that we are in the 21st century. I learned a lot about trades, tools, the place of women, and quite simply life in the Middle Ages which is often distorted today. I highly recommend!
