Unusual weekend in the Middle Ages: a medieval experience in Murol
Are you ready to step back in time with your partner, family or friends? Experience the daily life of medieval ladies and gents in a realistic medieval atmosphere. A true medieval immersion awaits you in our Theme Village in Murol**, nestled right next to the castle of the same name. A chivalrous setting for unforgettable fun activities!
Immerse yourself in the Middle Ages, as if you were there!
Jousts, events, discovery walks, historical or educational walks, dance evenings, visits, games… Immerse yourself in the Middle Ages, during an unusual weekend based on a medieval experience. You’ll have the chance to discover the life of knights, farmers and ladies in an incomparable setting.
In the heart of the Sancy massif and the Parc Régional des Volcans d’Auvergne, you’ll be transported back to the Middle Ages, but also to the splendor of an unspoilt landscape. You’ll be amazed by the richness and diversity of Auvergne’s heritage. Between nature, sporting activities and family entertainment, you’ll fill up on fresh air and history.
In our medieval village, young and old alike can stimulate their imaginations with falconers, jugglers, knights and peasants! The latter will introduce you to Saint-Nectaire cheese and… traditional blueberry or apricot jam.
The less adventurous palates can talk crafts and geology at the Fontaines Petrifiantes in Saint-Nectaire. This site, unique in the world, houses two centuries of history in the heart of a preserved cave, where a certified art craft is practiced: bas-relief molding.
In the heart of the village of Saint-Nectaire, architecture lovers can visit the church of Notre-Dame-du-Mont-Cornadore, renowned for its rich ornamentation inherited from Auvergne Romanesque art (11th and 12th centuries).
Discover the splendor of Auvergne and the Massif Central
The Murol** theme village is located in the Station Verte de Murol. With this ecotourism label, the area is considered one of the most splendid in the Auvergne. Not far from the foot of the Tararet volcano, you’ll have a breathtaking view of Murol’s 12th-century feudal castle. Just the thing to set the scene before donning your armor or your finest damsel’s toilet!
True-to-life activities for the ultimate medieval experience
When you were planning your vacation, did you imagine you’d be watching a sword fight, playing ancient games with your children or meeting the master of arms in his costume? The ** star Murol Theme Village offers you an unusual stay in a pavilion or bungalow, not far from the pretty town of Murol and the most beautiful natural sites in the Auvergne.
Between two events or festive evenings (cabaret, games, dancing), take the time to stroll around on an educational walk to learn more about volcanoes. Visit a farm where Saint-Nectaire cheese is made, and why not taste it? Or relax on the sandy beach of Lac Chambon, 800m from the village. You can enjoy the Sancy massif through a variety of activities on your own, with friends or family: water sports, mountain biking, cycling, fishing, hiking…
Tailor-made medieval immersion for unforgettable memories
“Oyez, oyez… “ Full-board, half-board or rental, damsels and knights create a vacation that’s just like you, combining discovery and emotion.
Young and old alike can take part in Swordfighting: foam sword fights orchestrated by a costumed fencing master. After a hike in the Auvergne volcanoes, opt for an excursion to Murol castle, or take a relaxing stroll in anticipation of the folklore evening or the big tournament.
Local produce, rural traditions, dances, demonstrations, workshops, volcanoes, caves, villages and churches all open their doors to you. It’s an opportunity to discover the thousand and one faces of Auvergne’s heritage, during an unusual weekend!
