The flags are up in Castillon. That can only mean that it's Battle season. 600 volunteers gather on the hills behind Castillon to re-enact the last battle of the Hundred Years War between England and France.
If you've never seen this amazing open-air show, then find out more and buy tickets here. It's a wonderful evening of entertainment. Go early and enjoy the Village d'Aliénor with entertainment, games and wine tasting. Dine at the open air tavern on long tables before heading on to watch the night time extravaganza - truly a spectacular spectacular!
The show itself lasts a 90 minute one act show and is set on the 7 hectaire grounds of the Chateau de Castegens. I note they now charge a €1 parking fee.
Whatever you do this week in the Gironde and Dordogne regions, have a great time, and please keep sending me the Night market updates.
Best wishes,
Helen
