During 4 days, the whole city is immersed in its Renaissance colors, street shows, base camps, traditional market, acrobats, musicians, taverns... everything is gathered for a return to the 16th century, it is a real life-size history lesson.
Don't miss the archery and the Bird King shooting contest which takes place every year and rewards the best archer by proclaiming him King until the following year. The parade of the last day will leave you speechless as the atmosphere breathes the 16th century, magic of the present moment, let yourself be carried away by the lively music and drown your eyes in the superb period costumes with their bright colors and careful finishing... It's time to let yourself dream...
To make the most of these wonderful moments, book your "Bird King's Birthday Party" stay at The Originals City, Hotel Bristol.
