Guedelon Castle

The Guedelon Castle in France
This is one of those projects that just make you  start screaming!  In the words of Tina Fey's daughter "I want to go to there!!"  Once upon a time in the year nineteen hundred and ninety seven, a group of fifty people came together to do the extraordinary. They set out to build a castle using thirteenth century techniques.  Now thousands flock to the site each year to watch the progress and learn about the Middle Ages.  The date of completion for the castle is 2025, so we have plenty of time to book our flights!
Their website has a fun 2 minute introductory video. If anyone has gone- please do share- we would love living vicariously through you!
