This summer, Bonifacio's citadel will come alive at night with the "Patrimoine en Jeux" operation, organised at the Bastion de l'Étendard.
Join us on Fridays 18 and 25 July, as well as 8 and 22 August, from 8.30pm to 11pm, for four free, festive evenings combining heritage, sport and culture.
During these evenings, access to the underground rooms and esplanades of the Bastion de l'Étendard is free and open to all. Come with your family or friends and enjoy an immersive, fun experience based on history and sport.
On the programme:
-Medieval games revisited:
The Cerf-Volant association invites you to discover traditional games such as Alquerque, le jeu du roi and le lièvre et le renard, brought up to date. It's an intergenerational event in a friendly atmosphere, ideal for fans of strategy and reflection.
-Table tennis on the ramparts:
A table tennis table awaits you on the heights of the Bastion: the perfect opportunity for a sporting duel in an exceptional setting.

Led by archaeologist and cultural mediator Fiona Tacchini, these workshops give children the chance to explore the representation of sport in art history through hands-on, educational creations.
