Nice rural church with beautiful ceiling paintings.

I visit places of peace and reflection (cemeteries) more often, sometimes completely introspecting. I found this place because, among other things, you can look at very old, but above all artistic, gravestones. Not like today, square, practical, good, if you can say so. If you look at the stones and go back to the respective century and then see how old the people have become, it fills me with humility. Here in Sweden the cemeteries are very beautiful, tidy and clean.

Château du Lude

The Château du Lude is one of the many great châteaux of the Loire Valley in France. Le Lude is the most northerly château of the Loire Valley and one of the last important historic castles in France, still inhabited by the same family for the last 260 years. The château is testimony to four centuries of French architecture, as a stronghold transformed into an elegant house during the Renaissance and the 18th century. The monument is located in the valley of Le Loir. Its gardens have evolved throughout the centuries.
