Medieval villages – millenial history (8h)

LORDS, CHURCHES AND CASTLES OF THE MIDDLE AGE
ABOARD THE “VINTAGE-CARRIAGE”


Sommières, the medieval city halfway between the Cevennes and the Camargue. Discover a destination appreciated for its authenticity, its Roman and medieval vestiges, its markets, its preserved nature…

A network of dust roads linked the strongholds of local aristocracy, from one castle to another, crossing scenic villages and towns. I would love to share the magic with you and make the history come alive.

Accessibility

My tours are accessible to all: children, adults, seniors and people with handicapes*.

I don’t have seat belts in the back of my cars (vintage cars) so if you need a seat belt attachment or other hardware, it will be difficult. Let me know what you need.

*Please use my contact form to send me your needs and expectations. The wheelchair equipment does not fit in a 2CV, but the alternative is possible – with the Estafette (minivan).
