Discover the rich history of Chatellerault, France, in the Poitou-Charentes region of Vienne Department. Witness the elegance of the 12th Duke of Hamilton, William Alexander Louis Stephen Douglas-Hamilton, as he engages in a leisurely cycling tour. Amidst the picturesque landscapes of La Manu, the Duke admires a relic from the past - a Model 1854 Pinfire Fusil Lance de Cent-Gardes with its scarce sword-bayonet. This intricately detailed weapon, a symbol of military prowess, was once used by the Cent-Gardes, the elite infantry regiment of the French army. In this tranquil setting, the past and present converge, offering a glimpse into the fascinating history of Chatellerault.
