«Au temps des châteaux forts» is the children's book by Brigitte Coppin, published by Gallimard Jeunesse in paperback (68 pages, in French).
In 1390, Arnaud, a boy orphaned by his mother, is sent to Coucy Castle to work. He discovers the daily life of a medieval fortress: stables, library, chapel and kitchens. He meets Guillemette and some minstrels, and when valuable objects disappear, he manages to unmask the thief.
The work belongs to the collection «Le journal d'un enfant», with illustrations by Erwann Surcouf and Maurice Pommier. Published in 2004.
Aimed at children and young people curious about medieval history, it combines an adventure story with a didactic approach to life in castles.
