It's a peaceful place to relax during your trip, with a fascinating history of the monks.

We went to see the monastery. It was a lovely square. We didn’t really go inside, there was some sort of exhibition. Probably prettier in spring with the plants

A place of calm conducive to contemplation in the middle of the city, it exists and it is here! Very beautiful garden with a part devoted to medicinal plants, then the central courtyard marked by an old well to better enhance the arcades that surround it. Headquarters of companies, the place is fortunately open to the public and that's good because here is a very nice discovery.

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.
