Fantastic! This sort of thing only works if people take it seriously and take care to dress authentically. I only spotted a couple of people ‘doing a plastic’ as cheating with modern near enough is good enough items of attire is known (eg the kid in the last photo is wearing modern sandals — in this case I can’t blame the parents, as equipping him every year with a new outfit would cost a fortune. Good on them for getting him involved). I’m amused by the hairy legged march leader who’s rolled his very authentic hose down — they are probably wool, and I’m surprised more people weren’t shedding bits of costume. I’m amazed and delighted here in Preuilly at how many members of the community relish wandering around town in Renaissance or Medieval gear (mostly hired from the costumier at Montrésor I think) when the occasion demands.

I, too, was surprised that they had all kept their costumes. It was really burning hot in the sun. I was surprised that so many of the kids and young men were in costume. And they all wore it with such ease. I doubt if these costumes were rented – the number was staggering!
