Briga

Eu, France

Briga was a medium sized Roman town that was discovered during the digging of a local road shortly after the French Revolution. From the first century AD onwards, the Romans developed a substantial sanctuary complex on the site of what was a Celtic shrine, as well as the other features one finds at Roman towns, such a theatre, bathhouses and a forum.

Superb place to visit. Thank you very much to the archaeologist guide, who received us and explained the places. A real good in the past, especially that we are passionate about history. A good continuation to all the archaeologists who work on this site. A big thank-you. We will come back to see you again. Do not hesitate to go there, they really need us too to support and continue the excavations in this place. It's part of our past, we must keep this site. ?

Really awesome!! The guide was smiling and made you want to know more, it was hot but it was so interesting that you didn't feel it. We even had the right to take in hand reconstituted objects after the excavations. Must do if you are in the area!!

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.
