Superb cathedral full of history especially in its foundations to discover ??
Adrian G. (4 months ago)
The cathedral itself is not extraordinary since, despite the work carried out, it does not seem finished. The interesting aspects are its history/construction/evolution (visit its paid crypt for details), the freshness for hot days and its ceiling height.

Very beautiful place, poorly signposted unfortunately

A beautiful building, however the surrounding environment appears abandoned. From the city center it takes about 10 minutes to walk

Notre-Dame du Bourg Cathedral is a beautiful Romanesque church. Its single nave and its four large bays. It was classified as a Historic Monument in 1840. The crypt is worth seeing, the visit was full of information. Friendly staff

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.
