It is a beautiful church and well worth a visit n time spent looking at all the artefacts. The harpsichord is beautiful and we were lucky to hear it being played. The church grounds/park has a lovely monument by Charlotte Gyllenhammar dedicated to Raoul Wallenberg and his immense help at saving many Jews in Budapest during WW II.

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.
