Sword fighting and cider at Saint-Sauveur-le-Vicomte! I attended a fantastic medieval fete today, on what is a public holiday in France. I took the opportunity to chill out in the sunshine and do a quick bit of sketching too.
There were many people in costumes, and people showing traditional crafts and skills.
Video 30 seconds long
That looks like a lovely place for an afternoon nap!
A quick sketch of the fighting and castle that I drew today. Hopefully I can use it as a starting point for a painting.

I was really surprised how aggressive they got with the swords. If someone screws up it wouldn't be good. Great post!
great antic look of one of the ascient city in europe
Wow that looks like a really fun and interesting day. I always enjoy these sort of events.
I always wanted to go to something like that. Looks like fun . I love castles!
The food was great too! Not sure how medieval frites and hot dogs are though :D
Looks awesome! I do HEMA and medieval combat here in South Africa, I think the IMCF was there last year?
Wow! That sounds an amazing thing to do. I'll have to check that out!
