  • @ClamLuvr bullshit ... there is no amish in france : is not religious "things" like amish in USA ...

    is just french people who like their history and participate voluntarily has recreate castles to understand used building methods, the medieval society and its social relations of people at this age ...

    it's not a community : it's a laboratory ! of re-taking over history by french people who want to do, to live it ...

  • where is this? i want to see it.

  • "nothing takes that long to build"

    yeah go to ground zero and tell us that.

  • I was thinking "I can't wait to see the end result!" but realised it's going to be done is 2028... haha oops

  • How did they get funding for this again?

  • @30thMarch Assuming that it's like the Ozark Medieval Fortress in the USA (also by Michel Guyot), there are full-time, paid workers, as well as volunteers, interns, etc.

  • @feuille2niggle whateveeeeeeeeeeeer :-/

  • @CapitanoGUC Ok. I'll take it easy *Deep Breath* -- these ideas are repeated everywhere by the people who like to see Middle Ages as wild and dark ages. Now, if you listen to real historians, they tell you the same : it's a myth. (Don't let yourself be impressed by movies like Braveheart ;o)

  • @feuille2niggle but thats, like you say only a fucking "detail" - and the couple marying may dosen´t know, that it is only a myth ...:D

  • @CapitanoGUC Except for one detail.... "prima nocte" has always been a myth!!!
