History

July 2020
It All Started in the Summer of 2020

Amid the Coronavirus pandemic, Séverine BAUD, the founder of Epok'Tour, like many other French people, decided to explore her beloved France when international travel was not an option.

Exploring Beautiful Villages in France

This provided an opportunity to visit several of France's most beautiful villages. Séverine's curious nature, always on the lookout for the unusual, led her to discover an "unusual tour” led by two witches.

A Journey into the Past

Caught up in the excitement, this lover of the unconventional found herself wandering through a medieval town, transported back in time, fully immersed in the Middle Ages.

From a Small Idea

The seed of a small idea sprouted after visiting another one of France's most beautiful villages. The discovery of this historically rich place was devoid of any animation and appeared to lack life. The sense of adventure, dream, and immersion provided by the witches was missing. Consequently, the flavor and excitement experienced previously seemed to have vanished.

The Birth of Epok'Tour

Through Epok'Tour, we invite you to explore these cities and villages during their moments of glory, in all their splendor, while imagining life in those times. You will uncover fascinating stories of both well-known and lesser-known figures from both the small and grand pages of history.
