Les Ducales de Guise – Medieval Festival at Château Fort de Guise
Les Ducales de Guise turn Château Fort de Guise into a medieval camp for a weekend of living history. Re-enactment groups animate the fortress with combat demonstrations, calligraphy, textile work, cooking, artillery, music and craft practices that make the site easier to read. The festival is rooted in the educational work of the Club du Vieux Manoir and in the strong fortress identity of Guise. It gives families and heritage visitors a concrete way to understand how military, civic and everyday life shaped one of the Aisne’s emblematic fortified places.
Fête médiévale d’Estourmel – Giant Reimbold Creton and Village Heritage
Estourmel’s medieval festival brings the village together around Rue Notre Dame for a day of heritage animation, costumes and craft stalls. Its most distinctive feature is the baptism of Reimbold Creton, a local giant presented as a symbolic protector of the town. That detail ties the event to the wider giant tradition of the Nord and the Cambrai area, where civic folklore still gives public celebrations a recognisable face. With a medieval village, artisan market, feudal banquet and music, the festival feels like a local story told through shared ritual rather than a simple themed fair.
