It is a great show of falconry and medieval impregnation, in the historic, high and green setting of the ramparts, where fascinating birds of prey (eagles, buzzards, falcons, owls, caracaras and vultures) soar overhead in several scenes, in harmony with the majestic horses. This enchantment transports you to the world of falconry as it existed in the medieval West, the Near East and the steppes of Central Asia. The show is fascinating. A must see!
