One of my favorite restaurants, mostly because of the castle.

Saw the “Viking” show at le Puy du Fou. It’s anachronistic, cheesy, utterly wrong….but fun as hell! Haha 😂

This is my life now. Driving through France and stopping at anything that looks remotely medieval to learn all about it. I’m in heaven!

Visited the Viking ship Olaf D’Olonne, built in France, today. What a treat!

This was an amazing find in the small town of La Flocellière: a church dating from 1090, before the first crusade! How cool!

Three generations of authors at the same book fair. From left to right: yours truly; Jean-Michel Adrien; Michel Adrien. We’re calling it “Adrien’s Wall.”

I saw this and tried it for myself, and indeed, when you search for famous fictional swords, Frodo’s “Sting” returns with a picture of the singer 🤣

At what point do we call AI companies on their bluff that this technology is so advanced as to be dangerous?

I've been told that this book "sugar-coats" the Viking Age, and that it's wrong to do so. I disagree. I believe it's essential to engage children in history. What do you think?

Michel Adrien had an extraordinary life. Among his achievements, he won the African fishing derby five consecutive years, defeating crews from the U.S., Russia, Germany, and the U.K. He did it with the first mixed crew (pictured below).
