Vendée Rebellion Tour and Wargame

Our newest "Walk the battlefield in the morning, Wargame in the Afternoon" tour and wargame, we are really excited to offer this to our customers as the war in the Vendée and the revolution has a relationship with our Maison. 






The tour will commence in our square, with a overview of the rebellion and the effect on Mayenne and the Nobles who lived here. We then travel to the site of la Croix battaillie and walk the ground, then onto Entrammes to walk the Battlefield located around the bridge. Then back to Laval and visit the Basilique Notre Dame d'Avesnières, and the Vendée memorial, at the top of town we lunch in the old city and finally visit the location of the execution of the Prince Talmont, in front of his family Château.

After lunch we return to L'Hotel de Hercé and then Wargame the battle of Entrammes in the 18th century "Salon de Guerre ".

Breton Domnonée Dark Age cavalry II

Breton cavalry II


A unit of medium Breton cavalry for my Kingdom of Domnonée project, another project from the 2019 pile that was partially completed and required a few steps to complete them. I am almost at a end for this army one more cavalry unit, a command and thirty figures. This will give me quite a large army for the 5th through to the 8th century and by swapping out some infantry and cavalry will stretch until the 9th century.

The figures in this unit are footsore with one converted gripping beast celt to make up the unit. Quite happy with the plaid on these.
