I recommend a stop to enjoy this castle. She is guided by a fantastic person. Remember that you need a reservation by phone to see it

Hello: it is a beautiful castle, which I would like to visit one day if God allows me, I have a question, is it built on top of a Celtiberian fortress? Have you ever made archaeological excavations? Thank you.

Château du Lude

The Château du Lude is one of the many great châteaux of the Loire Valley in France. Le Lude is the most northerly château of the Loire Valley and one of the last important historic castles in France, still inhabited by the same family for the last 260 years. The château is testimony to four centuries of French architecture, as a stronghold transformed into an elegant house during the Renaissance and the 18th century. The monument is located in the valley of Le Loir. Its gardens have evolved throughout the centuries.
