Saint-Vidal and the History of France
The Saint-Vidal fortress had fallen asleep for 20 years. It is now open again, with performances and attractions recounting the history of France.
Go back in time with a non-stop spectacle as you walk through a thousand-year-old fortress. Fifteen rooms in the castle help illustrate key episodes in French history from Vercingetorix to the 18th century.
Thanks to actors and new technology, this is a chance to see fascinating French history in a new light.
