The construction of this church in the nearby town of Saint-Martin-le-Beau began in the 12th century.  It was enlarged the the 16th.  This town is along one my favorite bike loops from Amboise.

This little church, Saint-Paul, can be found just down the road from Amboise in the town of Saint-Règle,  It's almost brand new by French church standards, being constructed in 1898.  I snapped this shot on one of my bike rides around the countryside.  We're expecting the sun to be out today here, but probably not as warm as when I took this shot in November.  Right now it is the very definition of freezing.
