For those of you who may be interested, this is a fantastic project being undertaken in France. They are building a medieval castle using strictly medieval technologies, tools, and materials. There is a lot to explore here, and I find it facinating all the way around. What a wonderful location to have a crossbow competition or event. You can even take part in the building of this project. Check out the video and the additional information. Someday, I hope to get over to Europe again, and will want to visit this project.

is a good youtube video of the project. All manual labor, horses to transport materials, all the tools are made on site, and they expect this will take 25 years to complete. I would give a lot to be part of such a project.
