- To build a Carolingian village comprising farms, gardens, workshops and a church,
- To recreate, within the Viking area, the activities of a trading post dominated by a 40-metre-long longhouse
- To lose yourself in reverie before the motte-and-bailey castle, transported back to the days of William the Conqueror’s knights
Visit this experimental archaeology site, explore the medieval structures and immerse yourself in the history of Normandy’s formation, from 911 to 1066, from Rollo to William the Conqueror.
