Such an amazing architecture. Probably one of the famous sites in auvers because of Van Gogh's painting. Definitely worth the visit, better to do a bike or hiking tour in Auvers and this is a must visit.

A very beautiful church

The church made famous by Van Gogh. Fairly typical of its period, it's rather pretty but no more so than many other churches. However, the painting changes everything. Unfortunately, it's not in the best condition. From the interior, the church tower looks to have been shored up to strengthen it.

Worth the visit. You can stand at a spot where Van gogh was standing when he painted the church and wonder how he would have felt if his paintings would be loved by billions of people around the globe.

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.
