We are a living history group based on the French artillery regiment at the time of Napoleon. We ar Our cannons fire blank charges but are potentially dangerous.
Members are expected to dress as French gunners, sailors, or officers of the regiment as they appeared in 1813. This need not be expensive as you can start with a simple greatcoat work up from there. We also represent gunners and explorers from the Lapérouse expedition (1788). For that reason we offer monthly drill days at a gun club in south-west Sydney.

Looking forward to returning to La Belle Vie French market in a few weeks time.
This has been a very successful day for our group for some years now, and a very worthy cause supporting the bi-lingual program of Taren Point Public School.
Keep an eye out for more information to come.

We had a fantastic time supporting the FANS bi-lingual program at Killarney Heights.
We haven’t had a display there for a few years, so it was great to be back. We had very high levels of interest and engagement in our La Pérouse display. Looking forward to returning next year for the 20th anniversary of the French market at Killarney Heights Public School.
