Take cash with you! Beautiful and well-maintained castle with loving, friendly staff. Perfect for children. Bistro with extremely good coffee and cake. The castle is only accessible on Sundays from 1 p.m. to 5 p.m. (May to October).

A very nice place. I know many palaces, castles and ruins. This castle is my new favorite. The location, the castle garden and the condition of the property are terrific.

Unfortunately I didn't check the opening hours so when I was there I couldn't enter and there was some construction going on on the outside so I couldn't take pictures. However going there on the bike was worth it because of the city view

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.
