Duché de Bicolline
The adventure of the Duché de Bicolline started in 1994, thanks to the shared dream and will of a few passionate people. It marks the beginning of an extraordinary journey, which has always been guided by the idea of having dreams big enough not to lose sight of them while pursuing them!
In 1996, the first Grande Bataille was held, which left it’s mark on the community of live action role-playing throughout Quebec.
The Grande Bataille event quickly gained momentum. Hundreds of participants soon became thousands, and what had been a two-day event now spans over a full week of immersion.
Over the years, Bicolline has developed a whole range of immersive activities and a complete game universe, allowing players to embody their characters year-round through the various events offered.
At the same time, an entire village has been built. Several hundred structures are spread across different thematic districts, giving the Duché de Bicolline its unique charm!
Bicolline has become a must-visit destination in the world of medieval fantasy immersion and has grown over time to include a community of players that is now international.
Over the years, the Bicolline team has grown and been supported by many passionate individuals who have generously given their time and energy to make this dream a reality where everyone leaves their mark.
The Duché de Bicolline is constantly working on its development—whether in terms of infrastructure, the game itself, or its activities—so that its participants can continue to thrive and marvel in a unique universe that continually surprises and fuels the imagination.

Seven core values guide the actions of the Duché de Bicolline: cooperation, sustainability, game ethics, involvement, inclusion, respect, and civic responsibility. These values guide us in our development and in the conception of all our activities.
We are all part of a recognized, established and accepted relationship that includes different groups and individuals. This
relationship is the key driver for support, safety and integration. Participants must be able to rely on each other when needed.
Our community must respect the environment. We are committed to limiting our impact on the site and its natural resources.
We must also ensure a healthy living environment to other participants by maintaining the site itself and respecting each
other’s living spaces.
Bicolline is a recreational activity that requires fairplay and the respect of various rules. Whether it be during combat activities, in the virtual game or under any other form, participants must respect the rules of the game and their essence.
The creative effort put forward by participants enriches Bicolline. It is important that participants continue to get involved and put their person, their ideas or their art to the service of a common objective: refining and improving the game.
Since participants that partake in Bicolline’s activities are involved in a process that directly influences their experience,
elements of personal distinction cannot be used to discriminate against them.
Roleplaying is not an excuse for neglecting the well-being of others. Each participant has the right to the respect of his/her physical, psychological and moral integrity, whether it be “in game” or not. Under no circumstances can a participant contravene municipal, provincial or national laws.
The reality of life at Bicolline must be considered. We are all responsible for the well-being of everyone who participates in
Bicolline’s activities. Respect for tranquility and the right to celebrate must coexist harmoniously. It is every participant’s duty
to encourage proper conduct and to report incivilities. Participants must do more than simply denounce any lack of respect:
they must also adopt attitudes that promote savoir vivre and preserve harmony within the community.
