Overview
Immerse yourself in the 15th century in Dinan, guided by Barbe, assistant mason working on many construction sites in the city.
In the midst of a conflict between the King of France and the Duke of Brittany, Dinan must protect himself. The consequences are noted on the architecture of this city as on that of the big cities of Brittany. Discover the daily life of the inhabitants of Dinan in full construction of new defenses for the city.
Armed with her tools, Barbe will guide you along the ramparts to the alleys of the medieval city by approaching the construction of a rampart or a house in the 15th century and the art of war while sweeping away the ideas received on the place of women in medieval society.
Unusual visit of 1h30 to 2h in small groups enriched with historical tools led in period costume for adults and children over 8 years old.

It was an excellent experience, we learned a lot from the details of the fortress and the trade and also from the overall situation in this age! The lady is super nice, speaks a very exact French (we are German and we understood everything) and she is full of knowledge! We were in Ploermel with Epok Tour: also excellent. THANK YOU to the guides and team
