jousting at durandal, Rocamadour

1. Durandal Vs Excalibur Equestrian Show, Rocamadour

An hour long horse show and theatre production that is based on the rivalry between the English and the French with lively, action-packed fun.

The performance includes a story line, similar to that of Excalibur in English history, and utilises medieval knights on horseback and swashbuckling antics to entertain the crowd. The horses are the stars of the show as they display their abilities and skills in the arena. The acrobats that ride them are equally as talented and add a special flare to the show.
