The Notre Dame church was built in 1635 by Pierre Le Mercier.

Park Richelieu

We were supposed to do richelieu Châtellerault by following the greenway that crosses the park, but we had to turn back in front of a locked gate marked as a private road... so we had to turn around!

A beautiful green space to run around with ponds, tree lined walkways, flowers and topiary.

Porte de Loudun is the southern gate of the fortified town of Richelieu, built by Cardinal Richelieu in the 1630s. King Louis XIII gave him the land to build a fortified town and castle on it, and Richelieu was still in the process of to carry out this project at the time of his death in 1642. There are two entrance gates into the town - this one, the Porte de Loudun and the entrance from the north is possible through the Porte de Chinon.

Built in the classical style between 1633 and 1639 under a plan directed by Cardinal Richelieu from 1631. Built in the Italian style, it was adapted to French taste by architects and builders Pierre and Jacques Lemercier.

Magnificent !

Richelieu is a special town: Commissioned by Cardinal Richelieu, it is a remarkable testimony to 17th century town planning. It is based on a checkerboard plan on the model of Roman towns or medieval bastides, and is surrounded by ramparts and monumental gates. It also has pleasant gardens (the Parc de Richelieu) as well as a magnificent market hall.
