Immerse yourself in the 15th century in Dinan, guided by Barbe, assistant mason working on many construction sites in the city.
In the midst of a conflict between the King of France and the Duke of Brittany, Dinan must protect himself. The consequences are noted on the architecture of this city as on that of the big cities of Brittany. Discover the daily life of the inhabitants of Dinan in full construction of new defenses for the city.
Armed with her tools, Barbe will guide you along the ramparts to the alleys of the medieval city by approaching the construction of a rampart or a house in the 15th century and the art of war while sweeping away the ideas received on the place of women in medieval society.
