Our experience here is directly related to the Roman Days - Remus event.

First, the amphitheater is absolutely amazing! It’s in wonderful condition and is a stunning piece of architecture to behold, let alone go to an event! We felt privileged to do so. We purchased our tickets online months in advance and paid extra, €67 per ticket so that we could be seated right in the center of the arena just behind the handicap seating area across from where the emperor would sit. Our choice proved to be a good one as we had great leg room, and though there were a couple of folks in front of us in wheelchairs, our use were unobstructed.

Entering the arena was a breeze, there were multiple lines, and we walked up directly to a security person without having to wait at all. After a quick check over us, a separate one for women and men, we were directed inside. Fortunately where we chose to enter was right where our seats would be. The seats are wooden and bench style, unfortunately the front wood slat of our seats was just slightly higher than the rear, so it made for a ridge across your bottom. We ended up folding our coats and sitting on them, and that took care of the problem.

If I could add any suggestions, a concession where you could rent a seat cushion would’ve been wonderful and I would’ve happily have paid some money to sit a little more comfortably. The only restrooms are Porta potties, but they did flush, and there were about a half a dozen of them in our area.

All of the staff were friendly and helpful and directed us to our seats answering questions as best they could with my broken French and their broken English.

The event itself was outstanding! Over two hours of storytelling where two gentlemen had a conversation remembering the life of general Remus. Though we didn’t speak enough French to understand what they were saying, the battles and scene changes that took place told the story well enough. There were at least a dozen set changes and all of them were incredible and quickly done. We kind of felt like we were an ancient room as I’m sure that was probably the way they did things. The participants were all well-versed in their acting, and there had to be at least three or 400 of them. There was an equestrian group that was simply outstanding! Their horsemanship and ability to flip over the saddles and even go under the horse during full gallop was amazing to see.

All in all the event was outstanding and we highly recommended if you were going to be in the area in April. My understanding is that they have a different theme each year.
