This cemetery steeped in history is worth the detour

A superb church to see, at the top of a good climb.

a silo on the edge of the canal very beautiful at sunset

Magnificent and impressive church to discover and for mountain bikers there are marked routes.

Pretty little town up high, with a center full of culture, its church, its castle and its town hall. It is a good starting point with more sites and memorials in and around the city.
