Medeval Chauvignie

We visited the medieval town of Chauvignie today and here are some pictures. We also saw a live show about falconry. It was to say the least very spectacular with the birds flying inches over our heads.

The outside and inside of the church

An even smaller street no cars allowed

Well. Um... I had starlings flying over my head yesterday!

OK, you win. No contest.

I didn't know there were bald eagles in France. I love raptors.

A dungeon with a view. Who knew? I sure love all these pictures.

SAW There aren't any but French raptors are almost extinct and it is illegal to capture, kill or keep them. So they have to use foreign raptors for their show. They have some from everywhere.
