Every year around this time , in a small village near Brno, a traditional commemorative event will take place at the occasion to remember a battle of the three emperors. The battle is significant till today due to the tactical masterpiece of Napoleon which brought victory to French by defeating a Russo- Austria army, commanded by Tsar Alexander I.

"Leng Chai " Napoleon - The man himself
Young and old standing side by side waiting for the battle to begin
Some even climbed up the tree to have the best view of the day
Before the battle begins , All activities involved around the city center with soldiers chatting , trying out their weapons, camping, marching and chiling out with visitors.
French armies - rehearsing the marching tune
Coffee on a cold morning.
chopping out some woods for the "ABC soup " no kidding
Old soldier going around the city with his cute wooden bike
I love wars movies and I always wanted to see how a war will look likes in real life. This enactment really gave visitors young and old to experience the first hand of battle involving real men , guns and canon except no casualties.
They really look cool in uniform
