The Eagles of the ramparts - Vol Libre Production — Attraction in Provins

The arena is quite tiny, which is not handy for Telephotolenses. I'd recommend going there with a 100-400 mm lens max. There are no shadow spots, which makes it difficult to sit down there over an hour in the summer heat. Show hours on weekends are different on the main entrance than on the website, and the show starts at 2:30 pm. Doors open 30 minutes ahead of time. Also, hands should not be raised overhead, smartphones should be switched off, kids should be quiet (no talking), and it is forbidden to walk during the show. While it is mostly alright to have such requirements, these should all be indicated on the website. The show is quite interesting, and one learns about the falconry's historical facts. Some variety in birds of prey that are not seen elsewhere, such as grey South American eagles and Asian snake eating Bird, white tailed european, and US eagles as well. Show is presented in period suits and with horses. There are no high standing points for...

After initial reservations due to not speaking French, we took out seats and waited for the show to begin. We had read to arrive early to ensure you get the seats at the front, which we did. This meant that the birds land mere centermeters away from you when they rest on the front rail.

The fact we couldn't speak French mattered not. The real stars of the show were the birds. It was incredible to watch eagles fly directly over your head.

Children and adults alike would love this show, and with a running time of 50 minutes it feels like the perfect length.

Oh, and to top all off, the show is located in the corner of the ramparts amongst the most stunning of...

Great activity for the family, you get really close from the animals and have opportunity to exchange about the birds pray with a very competent staff.

It was a cloudy day and we were warned that if it rains they would start the show. We were lucky as the show started and it rained after.

The staff seems to be composed of passionate people only. All the performer are taking great care of the birds and you can literally see in which conditions they are kept after the show.

I would recommend to anyone travelling to Provins. This show really adds to the value of the place. Thank you so much for...
