Just got back from a couple of days at the Puy du Fou, which is kind of a historical theme park up near Nantes. They reenact scenes from different periods of history on a grand scale. Lots and lots of horses, ridden by long haired blokes in leather wielding swords, pretty much perfect for me ;-) The horses mainly looked Spanish, with the odd Percheron in there to pull the body cart in the roman ampitheatre.......
Some pictures:
Well worth a visit if you're ever in the area......
