Historically, this event commemorates the 13th-century presence and influence of the Knights Templar in the region. It highlights the regional culture through meticulously researched costumes, medieval camps, and artisan workshops. Participants can observe knightly tournaments, torchlight parades, and traditional music performances in the narrow streets. This event creates a strong social impact by involving hundreds of local volunteers in the reconstruction of their past. For researchers, it provides a unique laboratory for studying the reception of medieval history in modern Provencal societies.
