Chateau de Grandson

This past Sunday, we took a half hour road trip to Grandson. It is along Lake Neuchatel on the northwest border. Grandson was having their Medieval Festival at the castle.
We paid a fee to get in and we noticed everyone was wearing a costume over their clothes. They had a place where you could borrow costumes to fit in with the crowd. The kids and I decided to joy in on the fun.
There were demonstrations of different crafts, music and dancing. We toured the castle and they had some good exhibits of armor, guns and swords and for some reason old cars.
We decided to get a drink across from the castle.
On the drive back home, we were amazed at the number of sail boats out on the water. It was a beautiful day. A good breeze and not too hot. The white you see in the picture are the sailboats. I wish I could have gotten a better picture.
