Medieval visit

Attack on the Bâtiaz Castle, demonstrations by a troupe passionate about the Middle Ages, tasting of medieval flavours... the medieval visit is adapted to each member of the family!

Built on the heights, the Château de la Bâtiaz has watched over Martigny and its surroundings since the 13th century.

In order to discover this unique setting, Martigny Tourism proposes a guided medieval journey through the different rooms of the fortress.
