WIP Wednesday

 For the last two weeks working on plastics kits as the desire to paint is on a downshift at the moment due to jet lag from my rapid visit to Oz for my sons wedding. 

 

Chateau Carrouges tour

 Chateau Carrouges - the last duel 

One of our more popular afternoon and evening tours is the monument Historic Carrouges Chateau, the former chateau of Jean de Carrouges, the HYW Baron who fought in the last French Judicial combat against his squire Jacques de Gris in 1386. Not much of the 14th chateau remains having been devastated in the later period of the Hundred years war and again in the wars of Religion. However much of the 16th, 17th and 18th century rooms and furnishings remain, the chateau also houses the basse Normandy “chase” hunting collection and includes one of the last wolves from the early 20th century hunted on the estate, until their reintroduction into Maine-Normandie parc natural three years ago. Well worth a visit, we also visit the spa town of Bagnolles for dinner to complete our half day tour. 

Bookings are available this summer here

A warlord miniature from the Saga range, the figure is resin, I am pleasantly surprised with the figure,I did think about mounting him on a metal horse but elected to not. The dog is from the Gallic dogs pack.
