Gourdon. The Medieval 2023 are launched

The Anim’et Vous association in Quercy-Bouriane met this Wednesday, November 23 to give the starting signal for the Medieval 2023.

This year, a feat had been achieved: the organization of the Medieval had begun a month and a half before the fateful date of July 31 and August 1, a time much too short for an event of such magnitude. Nevertheless the results were beyond expectations, no less than five thousand entries, that is an average of 280 visitors per hour, without having counted the children under 6 years old, however in number.

Call for volunteers

70 volunteers participated. However, they are unanimous in wanting to be more numerous. Those tempted by adventure can therefore make themselves known on 07 84 41 22 48 or at [email protected]. A beautiful atmosphere reigns within them because their primary motivation is to animate the city of Gourdon, and they are true enthusiasts of culture and the arts.

The date in 2023 has been brought forward: the next Médiévales de Gourdon will take place on Sunday 6 and Monday 7 August. Here is the conclusion of the main topics covered: all participants in the organization of the Medieval will be dressed in period costumes; a better geographical distribution of events in the city has been studied in order to balance the flow of visitors; it is planned to dedicate more activities to children and young people, giant games and archery for example; the decoration of the alleys will be more elaborate and ideas are already flowing, a workshop is already available; finally, catering will be set up specifically for artists.

The team will be the same. The members of the association: Dominique Schwartz, president; Nicole Bruneau, vice-president; Josette Falantin, treasurer; Nicole Espagnat, assistant treasurer; Laetitia Maury, secretary; Alex Couerbe, stage manager; Solène Kuntz, communications; and all the volunteers from the past year.
