Väga väga hea kontsert?Uku Suviste nn..tõusis minu silmis. Kirik on huvitav, õpetaja tasemel, alati huvitav ja õpetlik kuulda sõnumit. Olen olnud külaliseks ristsetel ja ka viimsele teele saatmisel. Kiidan õpetajat, alati meeldejääv ja omanäoline kõne.

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.
