The Summer Medieval Fair in Autun High Town

I had my doubts when I saw the signs – would this be a commercial extravaganza? Well I shouldn’t have worried. It wasn’t widely publicised – I only found out about it by seeing advance no-parking signs while trying to navigate the further reaches of the one-way system – and mostly it seemed to be the locals having a good time.

…even if they weren’t always too sure of the steps.

Although this horse was very sure-footed and sensible – dealing with stray sword fights and wandering children with total equanimity

And the swordfighting was sometimes quite lively…

Stumble it!
