Vive La Belle France #2 (1 Viewer)

Sometimes I do begin to believe that there's justice in this world. I drove down to a city called Provins from Paris this morning, and when I got here discovered that our client doesn't require the pleasure of my presence until around lunchtime tomorrow. So I decided to have a walk around and soak up the atmosphere in this typically Northern French Town. The first 2 photos below are just to give TFers a taste of the sights, but read on my fine fellows and check out what I found in a shop.

The shop was shut, so again the photos aren't great cos they were taken with my mobile phone camera and through the plate glass window.
That Knights of the Round Table display is stunning. The table costs 136Euros and each figure is 39Euros. The scale looks around 1/16 to me.
The Napoleonics are 45Euros each and look to be around 1/12 scale. If only I had;
a) The Money
b) The Room In My Luggage

I'm going to try and visit the shop when its open and try to get better photos - and find out who the manufacturer is and their website - cos I want that RT display big time.
Will pass on the info if I can find it out.

The town itself seems sleepy enough. Won't last once I hit the hotspots later tonight.....

Hey, thanks for the info Jeff. I'll launch an internet hunt for it later today.

I always enjoy my time in France Pierre, probably because its usually Bordeaux where I end up. This is only my 2nd assignment in the Paris Basin and its quite different - but still "interesting".

I found one of the websites Jeff;

http://www.h-s.co.uk/etains_du_graal_figurines/king_arthur_st_george_collection

As per my original post, the ones I've seen are painted. Can't afford it right now - and I've other priorities for our collection at the moment anyway, but I've saved the website to my favourites and will return to it in future. This is definitely added to the "under consideration" list.

Bon Chance

Just to clear up what may be a misconception that began down-under, the reason I change my location in my personal profile so much to reflect where I am at any point in time is because I live in hope that I'll be in the same place at the same time as other TFers and we can make arrangements to meet up together for a good chin-wag.

J'aime la France - but last year we went to Normandy and it was shut! Astonishingly closed and devoid of working people? Peek tourist season, as of course it was Aout! C'est la Guerre. What history.
