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.

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!
