Réalville is a royal bastide founded in 1310 by King Philip IV the Fair. The bastide dates back to the 14th century and is lined with old brick or half-timbered houses.
Culture and History
Around the Place Royale, the covered arcades have served trade and housed shops since the bastide was founded. They provide protection from the rain and shade in strong sunlight. The Place Royale has always been the centre of community life in Réalville; markets, fairs and shops are held there, as well as festivals and events today.
The façades and roofs around the Place Nationale in Réalville were partially listed as historic monuments by decree of 12 October 1948. Réalville Church features an oculus as an external architectural detail; the church was built in 1893. The original church of the bastide was destroyed during the Wars of Religion.
The Réalville discovery tour features a half-timbered house on Boulevard Jean Delzars. In addition, “Explorateurs: Réalville bastide royale” is a cultural activity in Réalville in which a game booklet guides visitors in discovering the history of the town.
