Night strolls

In July and August, our guides, passionate about history and culture, will let you feel the vibrant history of Figeac, plunged into half-light and lit with flambeaux.

Two alternating themes on Wednesdays and Fridays:

Figeac in the Middle Ages: What if, at night, Figeac became a Medieval town again? Carried along by the guide’s narration, you’ll enter into the life of the bourgeois of the century of Saint Louis.

Figeac in the time of Louis XIV : A little leap in history to discover at night the life of Figeac at the time when Louis XIV was King of France, continuing the time until the eve of the Revolution. From streets to squares, Figeac in the 17th and 18th centuries will come to life again thanks to our guide’s narration.
