A really beautiful church from the year, something from the 1500s I guess. Inside sat a girl who was really excited to talk about the history of the church. So I did, even in two days. And I'll send you a picture. The crystal chandelier hanging on the ceiling was also very old, but preserved.

Our traditional church in the heart of the city. The traditional church of my beloved Mother's family, the consumption of history has not decayed the precious atmosphere. A rare construction method.

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.
