very pleasant walk

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.

Bakery sandwich shop open every day until 10pm! Since there aren't many shops in the area, it's a gift for a ride on a Sunday!

Small road dedicated to pedestrians and bicycles, no cars, passage under the trees very pleasant. Beautiful little hill coming from the city

Very pleasant short 35km tour between the Loire and the vineyards (apart from 2km of departmental road)

Great view of the castle. Unfortunately it is difficult to get seats in the bar.

one of the most beautiful villages in France

A must-see in the region: crossing the bridge with a view of the castle!
