St Martin's Church

Bordeaux, France

The Church of St. Martin stands has stood in the same place since 1294. The patron saint of the parish, owes its name to Martin of Tours. In 1451, then in ruins, it was consecrated by the archbishop Pey Berland, which offered the reconstruction once the Hundred Years War was over. After about 20 years of renovation, it is classified today as a historic monument.

Pretty church where I lived beautiful and less beautiful moments. I like its interior by being discreet but imposing. The environment is pretty. Glad the work is done

Beautiful church from the outside but what a disappointment to see the access closed. For a place of meditation, it's a shame especially without a word or explanation on the door.

Very beautiful, well restored church On the other hand, it is very difficult to park and let's not talk about the places reserved for the disabled which are inaccessible !!!

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.
