Provins Medieval Fair, 3

And sure enough...

Funny faces! Some with original Medieval paint!

Not sure what these ladies were doing...a scriptorium? 

All lights aglow, probably doing penance for converting the church to secular
purposes during the fair...but don't worry, we'll still have Bingo Monday night

Playing a 16-string nyckelharpa--look it up--she was good,
and very popular with the crowd

For me, Best of Show...a human-powered merry-go-round

So many people in costume, some apparently
authentic, many authentically amusing

Where we had lunch, carb-free galettes

By mid-afternoon the crowds were overwhelming

Medieval dumpster

Jack? Jack Sparrow?!

Steps down to the Medieval book store

Interior

And the show goes on

A 12th century hospital for the poor

Provins' walls

Much as they might have looked eight centuries ago...best fair ever!
