Rue du Change in Vendôme. Pedestrian street with a view of the Trinity

Although the Notre-Dame church in the town of Areines may seem modest in size, the richness of its interior decoration is remarkable. It consists of a rectangular nave from the 11th century that extends into a narrower choir and ends with a semi-circular apse from the 12th century. The bell tower was added in the Gothic period. All the walls are covered with murals. The restoration of those in the choir and apse dating from the middle of the 12th century allows us to see: Christ in Majesty, the Lamb with a halo, the Annunciation, the Visitation, the Nativity, saints and apostles. Some of these primitive frescoes were covered by paintings from the 15th, 16th and 18th centuries. Many traces are visible on the walls of the nave and will be restored in the years to come.

Very beautifully restored church with a beautiful courtyard.

Wow...a great corner :-)

one of the most beautiful villages in France

Ranked among the most beautiful villages in France, Lavardin is a very pretty little town, where medieval, Renaissance and troglodyte styles mix. The Saint-Genest church is particularly beautiful, with its colorful paintings. Concerts take place there in summer. Just opposite you will find a café-bakery, carved into the stone, which serves delicious ice cream. You won't be able to miss the remains of the castle and its 26 meter high tower. Note that it is possible to pitch your tent on the banks of the Loir, at the bottom of the village. The spot is very pleasant.

A flowery village located at the foot of the magnificent ruins of its castle. If you like to stroll, take photos, if you like the Middle Ages, Lavardin is an obligatory stop during your stay in the Pays Vendôme.

Vendôme benefits from an extraordinary heritage with numerous exceptional sites and monuments. The city is also renowned for the excellence of its artistic crafts. Crossed by the Loir, it is located in an environment that will delight nature lovers.
