A Medieval Castle in the Making, by hand!

http://guedelon.fr/: This is an amazing thing that's going on in France. Check out the website. A medievel castle is being built exactly as it would have been in 11oo or 1200. With the same tools as they used back then - nothing modern. All authentically medieval. It's located in the Burgundy region, in Puisaye. It's two hours from paris. You can visit the site, and you can even help build the castle by signing up for a castle building class. While you're there, you can visit a real medieval castle, the Chateau de Saint Fargeau, which is 1000 years old, still standing and beautiful.
