Mega fin langdysse. Skøn view oppe fra grusvejen

Smuk udsigt i fantastiske omgivelser. Det er en spændende oplevelse at bevæge sig rundt omkring stendyssen. Der er et fint skilt med information. Der er ikke gode forhold til parkering, men fint hvis man cykler eller er villig til at gå en lille kilometer.

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.
