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

very pleasant walk

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.

Montoire Castle is a ruined castle. Construction began in the 11th century; there was further construction work in the 12th, 13th and 14th centuries.

The Saint-Lubin Church is a 12th century Romanesque church with arched windows, a wooden roof and a bell tower.

Renay Castle is now in ruins. It was built in the 15th century and belonged to different noble families over the centuries, such as the Courcillons, the Rochambeaus, and the Raguet Lépines. The castle was partially registered as a historic monument in 1971, but it has not been well maintained by its successive owners. The last owner is Sylvain Durand, a dealer and collector who made his fortune with the paintings of Fernand Léger. He died in 2018 and his furniture and collection were sold at auction. The castle has suffered from a lack of maintenance and preservation.
