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.
