A human interest story appeared in our August 19, Santa Fe New Mexican newspaper regarding an old style castle, newly built, named Guedelon and located near Treigny, France. The living history medieval castle is being built using all craft techniques of that period. So far, the building houses a smithy, bakery, rope twister, tile making room, basket making setup, mortar mixing station, and a mill. Sounds like it's worth a visit if one ever makes it to France.

There was a pretty good program on one of the discovery channels or maybe the history channel about building this castle. I'd love a chance to check it out in person. I'd need a translator though.

Frosty The Lucky.
