Lavardin

Highlight • Other

Lavardin on the River Loir was classified as one of the Plus beaux villages de France (most beautiful villages of France) because of its medieval townscape with its castle ruins and its early Romanesque church.
      
Worth seeing in Lavardin are, above all, the bridge from the 13th century, some houses from the 12th to 16th centuries, the ruins of the castle Lavardin, the church Saint-Genest from the 11th to the 13th century with Romanesque frescoes and cave houses on the mountain trail.

Lavardin

Highlight • Settlement

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.
