Notre-Dame de Marmande

Marmande, France

The church of Notre-Dame in Marmande dates from the 13th, 14th and 15th centuries. The windows of the nave, the altarpiece of the 18th century and, in particular, the Renaissance cloister adjoining the south side, are some of its most interesting features.

The gardens were added in the 1950s but using the golden rules for classical gardens of the 17th century including its symetrical pattern, box edges and a terrace from which you can look down over the gardens and formal pond.

A beautiful church. We were lucky enough to visit when the organist was practicing too.

Sublime abbey in its Gothic architecture. She hides her secrets well. But the rest of the cloister next to it reveals a beautiful garden which in spring offers beautiful colors

So beautiful and well maintained. We stopped in the gardens and sit down for dozen of minutes to enjoy the beatiful garden. This is most probably the most valuable place to visit in the city. Gothic style church with impressive vitrage and decoration. Very well preserved

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.
