18th Century Sedan Chair.

 While on holidays we stayed at a lovely 16th century chateau Villars in the Cher department. Like most chateaux that have remained in families they have some amazing pieces of history in their collection. In the entry they had a family piece that was quite spectacular, leather painted panels and a 18th century frock coat. A splendid piece of history.

Vendee Rebellion book find

Great buy off FB market place this week, the three volume series by Jean-Francois Chappe of the history of the wars of the Vendee. All unread hardbacks in excellent condition, published in 1993 for the anniversary of the rebellion. 

 A bit of light reading for the next few weeks while I am on holiday, continuing my knowledge of the war. It will help I am sure with our Vendee battlefield tours, plus as  I continue to write my scenario series and Wargames rules for Vendee rebellion in western France.
