One of the most beautiful grave yards I have ever seen

What a fantastic cemetery! Czech greats are buried here. Composers Dvorak and Smetana, a cheeky cartoonist, the most prolific goal scorer, with a soccer scarf tied around his neck. Take your time to wander around and appreciate the artistic tombs. It isn't ghoulish or grim, but uplifting.

A very beautiful cemetery where quite famous people are buried. Very beautiful statues. I never thought I would like a cemetery. Looks more like a park than a cemetery.

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.
