Great Romanesque church, one of the oldest in the region. The village cemetery is around the church.

David Weber (23 months ago)
Very beautiful, almost mystical Romanesque church. Worth a detour, including a short walk across the cemetery. Attention: In winter, use the SIDE ENTRANCE on the right, as the main portal is closed. Will not be contacted!

More than 1000 years old. A mystical place full of ancient energy. A hidden gem. Must go! Must see! Must experience!

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.
