Leukerbad is a very pleasant place, you feel good there and the view is superb you can even see the hills of the castles of Sion at the bottom of the valley. The castle and the town hall are very beautiful buildings. There is a large underground car park in the old town and in the square towards the castle there is a very pleasant little cafe. The medieval church is very beautiful inside we enter it through the small door on the north side of the building, the main door being closed on the other hand on the south facade of the church there is an entrance next to it. a cross that leads not into the church but to an ossuary with the walls adorned with perfectly stacked human bones, it feels like the catacombs of Paris and believe me when you don't expect it when you come back it's surprising

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.
