The Herbalist

 I built a shop called the "herboristerie", a pharmacy selling mostly plants and remedies.

Here are some photos:

It was fun to fill all the cabinets with small glass containers.....

La cuisine

 Here is a new creation: the medieval kitchen.

I have in mind to create a medieval building inspired from a real one in my hometown called l'Hotel de La Croix Blanche, here is a photo:

I have started with the rooms on the ground floor. 

On the right is a kitchen, on the left is a large room to welcome visitors.

I will build the building when I have made the rooms. Each room is like a box.

So in the kitchen, I started with a big fireplace then added a stone sink on the left.

Both floors are covered with  clay tiles (made by Henry Bart in France),
 
weathered to make them a littel bit dirty. Each floor is made of about 

2000 tiles!

Then I used my imagination and memories of castles I visited to recreate

 the atmosphere of a medieval kitchen. I asked Jan Grygiel to make the

 table and the benches. I then displayed vegetables and food made by

 Orsolya Skulteti (Orsi's miniatures). The clay poteries were made by

 Elisabeth Causeret. That was the fun part of the project. 

Here are some photos:

I have modified the main room on the left. Before, it looked like this: a narrow room with a window on the left side.

But I was not 100% happy with the layout so I built another room:

The place to display the medieval furniture is wider.
