Time-travelling back to the Middle Ages in France

FRENCH CONNECTIONS © FRANCE 24

In this special history episode of French Connections Plus, we put the spotlight on what has come to be seen as a dark period: the Middle Ages. The era known as "le Moyen Âge" in French covered some 1,000 years: ten centuries of political upheaval, royal intrigue, wars, disease and famine. But it was also a rich period of artistic and intellectual development when in many ways France took on the shape it has today. So what's left of this complex chapter of French history? Join Florence Villeminot and Genie Godula as they time-travel back to the Middle Ages in France.
