After donning his armour and gripping his spear, the lord of Rivau would loyally fight the lord of Brézé in Anjou, his eternal rival. Anjou or Touraine? Come and support the colours of your camp!
On Saturday and Sunday, 5 spectacular tournaments in the moat of the castle, hosted by the Chevalerie Initiatique.
