About this trip

If you are a fan of festivals, parades, performances, entertainment, good vibes, joy, and, above all, science fiction, then the "Cidre et Dragon" festival in Merville-Franceville-Plage is perfect for you.

This festival, aimed at both adults and children, has become an integral part of local traditions since 2004. It was initiated by the "Medieval Fantasy" Association and attracts participants and visitors from all over France and beyond.

Organized just a few hours from Paris, on the local beach, the festival is known for its unique atmosphere, combining medieval, fantasy, and science fiction elements. It offers a wide range of activities: historical reenactments, parades, theater and music performances, workshops, craft fairs, and exhibitions. An important aspect of this event is that participants are encouraged to come in costume, which helps create an authentic and captivating atmosphere.

The name "Cidre et Dragon" perfectly reflects the theme of the festival: "Cidre" represents the traditional drink of Normandy, while "Dragon" symbolizes the fantastic and mythological elements present at the event.
