Romanesque church, very well preserved.
Angel Martínez (2 years ago)
It is a church, which in addition to having Santiago as its patron saint, has the Jaqués checkered pattern on the upper part of the door. Despite the fact that no Camino de Santiago is recognized from this area, there is a tradition of pilgrimage from this coast. There is also an oral tradition that speaks of a tunnel from the church to the Torres de Mens Like many other churches, you can only visit the interior during mass hours. The small fort that are the towers, cannot be visited either because it is private property

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.
