Provins is a medieval village located in north-central France. This ancient village dates back to the days of Charlemagne and visiting it is much like attending a Renaissance Fair, without the cheesy factor. You will love the many sites and historical places to see around town. Climb the 12th-century ramparts built to fortify the town, explore the underground tunnels with its medieval graffiti or just enjoy a relaxing afternoon at one of the cafes.
While vacationing in Provins don’t miss the Ramparts Theatre of Provins. This open-air theater and aviary will take you through the history of falconry. Enjoy the spectacle of their many birds of prey as they perform aerial feats. The show also includes wolves and horses. After the show, stop by the aviary where you will see 100 birds from 20 different species. Another great show to see is located right outside the main gate. The whole family will get a kick out of this 45-minute medieval re-enactment. You will see damsels in distress, good knights versus bad, stunts on horses and a working catapult.
