Medieval festival

Remaking of the lifestyle from the medieval time in Cremieu. A town which is about 20 mins drive from home. Some of the buildings and forts date back to the 12th Century. Very well maintained, preserved and restored.













One of the main entrance where the people then used to enter in and out of their village.



People of all ages were dressed up for this day to relive this particular time. They had a procession around the village. The people were dressed up as nobles, normal villagers, peasants, villains and some as character from the "fairy tales".




Musicians, food stalls, farm animals, stages to put do a little sketch, games... it was really animated.
There were lots of people who came to participate and others were just enjoying the view and atmosphere.




Look we found a elf!
Not as small as what we imagined but he sure looks like one from the "Lord of the rings" movie.












and so I thought maybe if I kissed this fella he'll turn into prince charming but then the kiss has to be done by an unmarried lady..




Hey look Johan has grown taller! It must be all the dairy products in France... :) Cheese, yogurt.. all the things you get here at a lower price compared to Brunei's market.

The little man is adorable ya? Anyone interested?




One of the many games played during those times..like a game of checkers but human size.



The farmer and his animals. He has this wonderful farm dog that will keep the sheep and geese in a group. The animals also had their little parade going on.






OFF WITH HER HEAD!!!!
Yikes.. not something I would like to experience.
So there you go.. the punishment of doing something out of the law.
So whatever you do.. be careful and be wise.. :)
