About :

It is one of the longest periods in the history of France, 1000 years during which impressive fortified castles, incredible cathedrals, sublime bastides were built. With our guests, we will set off to challenge the preconceived ideas about this Middle Ages, often underestimated. The journey begins in the north of Tarn. Defying the laws of balance, the castle of Penne d'Albigeois astonishingly hugs the rocky peak that dominates the Aveyron gorges. After its dismantling in the 16th century, the powerful fortress remained abandoned for 450 years... By buying this castle, Axelle Letellier, architect, has fulfilled her childhood dream. Her passion for the Middle Ages also pushed her to entrust the restoration to Pascal Warringo. Because it is with the techniques of the time that this mason, companion of the Tour de France, carries out the work. With him, we share the know-how of the builders but even more the customs and traditions of this medieval society, much more modern than one might think. Then we head to Corrèze to discover another enthusiast, Pierre Gire. It is in Xaintrie that this trained pastry chef, self-taught in history, has carried out his great work: the construction of a medieval farm that is more real than life. We end our journey through history in Cordes Sur Ciel, the oldest fortified town in Occitania, where Pascal Warringo has settled with his association of medieval builders. Today, he is one of the most renowned restorers of historical monuments in Europe. Working regularly in collaboration with medieval historians, he never stops taking action to experiment, manufacture, create... rediscover the gesture, the technique, the spirit... in short, bring to life this period that fascinates him so much, the Middle Ages... #capsudouest All the news in Nouvelle-Aquitaine ► http://france3-regions.francetvinfo.f...
