Stone church dates from the 15th century, ceiling paintings were carried out around 1520.

It is a very beautiful church, from the outside. We couldn't see it inside. It is in a beautiful natural setting, very, very green. And the outside is a large cemetery garden. All graves on the floor, no niche. It's nice to go for a walk. It is worth deviating from the main road about 2 km to see it

Very beautiful church, located on a little hill. A fitting old cemetery accompanies well.

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.
