Les Médiévales de Provins is an annual medieval-themed festival typically held in mid-June in the UNESCO-listed town of Provins 1. Over two days, the town’s streets are filled with troubadours, knightly combats, artisans and market stalls in medieval garb, historical reenactments, a grand Saturday medieval banquet dance and a Sunday costume parade involving hundreds of participants 2. In 2025 it included a new drone show over the town at night 3.
Provins was a major medieval trading centre, and the Médiévales invoke this heritage. It celebrates the region’s history by involving residents in recreating medieval life—craftsmen, jesters, soldiers and nobles—sharing knowledge of traditions like jousting and falconry. It connects the community to Provins’ UNESCO heritage while fostering tourism.
