A must visit place! Toulouse Lautrec’ ancestral chateau. There were only three of us but Lady gave us a very interesting tour of the whole chateau. Huge amount of interesting exhibits related to the artist and his children’ drawings on the wall, as well as original furniture etc. JUST WOW!

If you’re a fun of Impressionism you’d be glad to visit the Castel where Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec spent his childhood. You can take a guided tour and check the interior and things right from the past.

Very interesting but much better if you speak French. The printed guide, in English, only tells you what is in each room and not the history.

Visite intéressante mais trop peu de temps pour regarder les œuvres du peintre. Ce que nous avons vu était intéressant mais nous espérions voir un peu plus que 5 pièces du château.

Temple of Edfu

The Temple of Edfu is one of the best preserved ancient shrines in Egypt. It was built in the Ptolemaic Kingdom between 237 and 57 BC.

Edfu was one of several temples built during the Ptolemaic Kingdom, including the Dendera Temple complex, Esna, the Temple of Kom Ombo, and Philae. Its size reflects the relative prosperity of the time. The present temple initially consisted of a pillared hall, two transverse halls, and a barque sanctuary surrounded by chapels. The building was started during the reign of Ptolemy III Euergetes and completed in 57 BC under Ptolemy XII Auletes. It was built on the site of an earlier, smaller temple also dedicated to Horus, although the previous structure was oriented east–west rather than north–south as in the present site.
