About Cite Medivale de Provins
Add to favoritesA Journey to the Heart of the Middle Ages A true jewel of French heritage, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, the medieval town of Provins transports its visitors back to the 12th century, to the time of the famous Champagne Fairs. Passing through its imposing fortified gates, you discover a picture-perfect setting: spectacular ramparts stretching for over a kilometer, picturesque cobbled streets, and half-timbered houses that tell the story of centuries of commercial and military history. The experience doesn't end with a simple stroll. The upper town is dominated by the majestic Caesar's Tower, the only octagonal keep with a square base, offering a unique panoramic view of the surrounding countryside. Between visiting the mysterious underground passages and exploring the Tithe Barn, Provins is a must-see destination for architecture enthusiasts and families seeking a historical escape just an hour from Paris.
Tip for an even more exceptional visit.
To fully enjoy the medieval atmosphere without the crowds, opt for a weekday visit or one of the misty autumn mornings, which lend the ramparts an unforgettable, mystical ambiance. If you plan to see the falconry or jousting shows, consider purchasing the "Provins Pass": it offers discounted access to the main monuments (Caesar's Tower, Underground Passages, Museum) and pays for itself after just three visits.
