Bicolline

Bicolline is a fantasy live combat experience founded in 1994. It wasn't until 1996 however, that Le Duché de Bicolline and the first official "Grande Bataille" took place and was formed. It is often labeled as a live action role-playing game (LARP) due to the large percentage of players who participate in role-playing. Events take place at a dedicated venue covering 140 hectares and two medieval villages. Le Duché de Bicolline is located in Saint-Mathieu-du-Parc near Shawinigan, QC.VenueThe most passionate players involved over the years have built two medieval villages with roads, bridges, ditches, houses and inns at the Duché de Bicolline venue. Construction days are scheduled throughout spring and summer for those building new houses. These houses are built to resemble medieval buildings and to be as decorum as possible. Players are responsible for their own buildings and must follow standards of construction. With two villages that are composed of one hundred and ninety buildings, and more being added each year, Bicolline is making itself out to be one of the largest immersion medieval venues in the world. The demand for construction on the site is so great that the owner of Bicolline spends all year controlling applications, validating the plans for buildings, ensuring that projects are feasible, and so on.SettingThe world of Bicolline has its own geography, economy, conflicts, and complex geopolitics that have been evolving since its inception in response to the actions of the players and the outcomes of battles and events. The geopolitical system is based on feudal Europe, and is the basis for most of the actions undertaken on the ground during the events.
