I really enjoyed my visit here. The stonework at the front is exquisite and less damaged by atmospheric erosion than other buildings of a similar age, although there has been some restoration, and I can't always tell the full extend of the restoration. The interior with its massive vaulted ceiling impressed this 21st century peasant as I'm sure it has for hundreds of years. Some excellent stained glass, including some modern windows that fitted the setting very well.

A short walk from the town centre takes you to the ruined chateau overlooking Vendôme. Worth the effort. We did it early evening on a cooler evening and enjoyed the visit. Very little shade on way up so best to avoid on hotter days. That said it had a lovely atmosphere and amazing views. Currently there is an open air exhibition of some Russian photography with images of life in northern Russia around a cosmic ray research station. This was of particular interest to me as I used to have cosmic ray detector on the top of my lab at work in Bristol, UK. I would recommend a visit.
