Provins

Ramparts, dungeons, knights and underground tunnels are all on the bill in the medieval city of Provins, located 80km south-east of Paris. The site, dating back to the Palaeolithic, became a prestigious and wealthy market town by the middle ages. Made up of an uptown (le Châtel) and a down-town (le Val), Provins resonates back to the times of Philippe Auguste and Saint Louis, during the era of the well known Champagne Fairs.

The site of Provins, a world heritage site since 2001, offers three main points of interest that make this town a treasure: The César tower, a 12th century octagonal dungeon with a square floor; La Grange-aux-Dîmes, a 13th century merchant's house turned into a museum to exhibit middle-age professions (potters, stonemasons, merchants etc.); L'Hostellerie de la Croix d'Or, - or the Golden Cross Inn - the oldest inn in France, dating back to 1270 and still fully functioning today; and finally the old town underground, filled with medieval basements open to the public and which play a key part in Umberto Eco's novel, Foucault's Pendulum.

What gives this town its charm are the scenes of knights in armour; music and horse shows; the falcon show, "The eagles of the ramparts", which takes place close to the fortress; as well as its cobbled back-streets and its beautiful half-timbered houses. Here you can discover middle age art and cuisine, that make this visit a great journey through time.
