Lucelle Abbey

Lucelle, France

Lucelle Abbey was a Cistercian monastery in the present village of Lucelle, in the Haut-Rhin department in Alsace, France, but located right on the Swiss border.

I was amazed by this place absolutely lost in the middle of nowhere! "It's a hollow of greenery where a river sings", there is a mini golf course ideal for children, but also and above all a vaulted cellar which can accommodate a large number of guests for a wedding or any other party; all in a place with a soul. It almost makes you want to get married!

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.
