A little nostalgic detour in front of the house, in memory of this immense actor often imitated but since, never equaled..!!

Happy is he who, like Ulysses, has made a beautiful journey, Or like the one who conquered the fleece, And then returned, full of experience and reason, To live among his parents the rest of his life! When will I see again, alas, of my little village Smoking the chimney, and in what season Will I see again the enclosure of my poor house, Which is a province to me, and much more? More pleases me the abode that my ancestors built, Than the bold brow of Roman palaces; More than hard marble pleases me fine slate, More my Gallic Loire, than the Latin Tiber, More my little Liré, than the Palatine Hill, And more than the sea air the sweetness of Anjou.

Having spent his early years on the family estate of Liré in Anjou, Joachim Du Bellay spent several years in Rome alongside his cardinal uncle, where nostalgia for the gentleness of Anjou inspired his most famous sonnet "Heureux qui comme Ulysse". In it, he notably mentions this "little Liré" of which only ruins now remain, standing among the chestnut trees. A very pleasant site that you can freely access via a tarmac road when entering the Turmelière estate and going behind the 18th century castle.

An ancient fortress - the tower with its black and white stones can be seen from far away

already a special tower - Château du Oudon - built in the Middle Ages - 1300-1400

Very pretty castle 🏰

This medieval castle acts as a lookout in the middle of this small town perched on the banks of the Loire, a visit is essential... It is also a starting point for a beautiful walk along Le Hâvre.

The Château de la Champtoceaux, on the Domaine de la Colinière, is located in an area of 30 hectares overlooking the Loire from 70 meters. Due to its exceptional geographical location, this site was first a Roman oppidum then became a fortified medieval city, Châteauceaux (castrum celsum), ancient name of Champtoceaux, enclosed by walls and with a surface area twice that of from Carcassonne! https://fr.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ch%C3%A2teau_et_ville_close_de_Champtoceaux
