The Tir de l’Oiseau final is one of the ceremonial anchors of Le Puy-en-Velay’s Roi de l’Oiseau celebrations. The bird-shooting contest turns archery into civic ritual, ending with the crowning of a symbolic king inside the Renaissance fair world. Its value is not only sporting: the final carries local pageantry, public memory and the festival grammar that has made Roi de l’Oiseau a signature Velay tradition.
