Medieval festival at Chateau du Chatelier...

Went over to the 'Medieval Festival' at Chateau du Chatelier on Saturday, great setting and they did themselves proud.

From the moment you entered you were met by costumes and crafts from a bygone age.

The 'Protestant Barn' was open to view, we have had the pleasure of attending a concert here and you still can as there are still some in this year's programme.

There were opportunities to buy a variety of produce including Whisky  from Alsace.

The 'Royals' graced us with their presence...  

but these Knights seemed to be hedging their bets.

The award for the best 'character acting' went to the wonderful witch who was waiting to 'greet' us as we left

The 'Knightshift' were arriving as we left.

Something else for the weekend...back to medieval times

The castle's courtyard will host a medieval village with its many shops and craftsmen here for the occasion.

The Company will host MANDRAGORE these days with many workshops such as dubbing, knights, blacksmithing, etc.

Joining them many artisans will display and sell their art (jewelry, wooden toys, bookbinding, tales, ancient beverage, bakery, etc.).
