Thursday we visited the medieval castle called Castelnaud. First we saw the blacksmith making a spear point, it was very sharp! Next we explored the castle and found a secret door. We got to watch a catapult launch and we saw how armor was made.
Princess Kate in one of the small doorways. People were smaller back then!
Here is a knight and his horse in full armor. It took a full day to make just one piece of the armor! It took a week to make the helmet and about a month to make a full suit of armor!
This is the view of the Dordogne countryside from the top of Castelnaud. You can see how it was in a good defensive position for all the wars of the middle ages.
