La Légende des Chevaliers, mounted jousting at the foot of the ramparts

It is the Provins show that children remember most: forty-five minutes of combat, jousting, mounted acrobatics, dressage and falconry at the foot of the wall, next to the Porte Saint-Jean. It tells of Count Thibaud IV of Champagne's return from the Crusades, and features Iberian horses, camels, donkeys, cows and goats, as well as working medieval siege engines. The Equestrio company has performed it since 2005.

When and how much

The season runs from late March to early November; in 2027, according to Equestrio, from 27 March to 7 November. There is a performance almost every day in spring and summer, at 14:30 or 15:00 on weekdays and at 15:45 at weekends; in autumn, fewer days. The stands are covered, so it goes ahead in the rain too, and they are wheelchair accessible.

At the ticket desk, adults pay €14 and children aged 4 to 12, €10; at the tourist office's online box office, €13 and €9, and even less if you add it to the Pass Provins. Under-4s get in free. Online sales close 24 hours before: on the day you buy at the ticket desk or the tourist office. Arrive half an hour early.
