For a homeless individual, it is worth its weight in gold that every Wednesday you can go and cook soup and coffee and buns as well as that you sit in a community with other vulnerable people in society and can talk openly about everything without having to be ashamed, no one judges you here !!

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.
