Hygiene in the Middle Ages
Tour Jean sans Peur
🍃
Forget the image of muddy streets and filthy knights. The Tower of Jean sans Fear is resetting the clocks by revealing the forgotten rituals of cleanliness from the 14th and 15th centuries. It is learned that public baths were legion and that maintaining the body was a major daily concern, far from common assumptions. This thematic route analyzes how the management of urban waste and domestic care shaped the lives of our ancestors. Due to a resounding success, this retrospective is extended until March 29, 2026. It’s an opportunity to confront our modern standards with the practices of a little-known era, at the heart of an authentic medieval vestige. The route remains accessible each week from Wednesday to Sunday to challenge your vision of history.
