A live performance at the foot of the Roque Saint-Christophe cliff
During your vacation, step back in time to the Middle Ages with our medieval knights’ show in the Dordogne, presented outdoors at the foot of the impressive cliff of La Roque Saint-Christophe.
Set against an exceptional natural backdrop (rarely open to the public), amid cliffs, forests, and medieval landmarks, young and old alike can enjoy a historical adventure full of humor, action, and twists and turns, featuring two characters and a horse.
Located in the heart of the Périgord Noir, between Les Eyzies and Montignac-Lascaux, La Roque Saint-Christophe offers much more than just a visit: it’s a true immersion into the world of knights.

Guillaume and Tristan: Knights… against their will!
Guillaume is a knight in the service of the Lord of La Roque. Tristan, on the other hand, is a minstrel best known for his knack for getting himself into impossible situations. And let’s not forget Bayard the horse, who’s right in the middle of it all!
When the two protagonists meet, nothing goes as planned. Between blunders, weapon demonstrations, unlikely training sessions, and comical situations, the adventure quickly takes an unexpected turn.
Performed by professional actors, this medieval family show combines:

Frequently Asked Questions About the Knights’ Show
How much does the show cost?
It’s included in the price of the admission ticket to La Roque. You can’t visit it separately, but there’s no extra charge when you buy a ticket for the site.
Do I need to make a reservation?
No, no reservation is required.
How long does the show last?
The show lasts about 50 minutes.
Is the show suitable for children?
Yes, this is a family-friendly event designed for all ages.
How do I get to the base of the site to watch the show?
First, you must go to the site’s reception desk to pick up a ticket. Then you can either tour the site and watch the show afterward, or do it the other way around—whichever you prefer—just be sure to keep your ticket. The show takes place at the bottom of the cliff, so you’ll need to get back in your car to move to a different parking lot (just 400 meters away). You can walk there, but we don’t recommend it for safety reasons (the road is narrow).
