Description

Step back in time to early 13th-century Tours, guided by Mahaut, the daughter of a crusader militiaman, on an unusual tour led by a guide in period costume. Immerse yourself in the early 13th century in Tours, during the reign of Philip Augustus, on an engaging tour accompanied by Mahaut, the intrepid daughter of a crusader militiaman. Portrayed by your guide in period combat attire, explore together a city steeped in history.<br><br> Immerse yourself in the dual identity of Tours, with the bishop reigning over his cathedral in the east and the burgeoning spiritual and economic center of Martinopole in the west. As the bells chime, feel the dust of the streets and the energy of the pilgrims converging on the sacred relics of Saint Martin.<br><br> Discover how money, faith, and steel together shaped the fabric of this vibrant era. Mahaut breaks free from medieval stereotypes about women's roles while fiercely protecting her city's treasures. Join her and wield the sword of knowledge as you journey through the medieval streets of Tours!<br><br> An unusual 1 hour 15 minute to 1 hour 30 minute tour led by costumed guides for adults and children over 7 years old<br><br> <b>Please note:</b><br> The meeting point will be indicated on your voucher after purchase
