I am very disappointed to see a magnificent building but not being able to approach it because there is a naughty fence around without counting the jail and a so-called park ... we make it it is just a large space of grass with 4/5 whites from above with some trees without maintenance ... I came to see this place in the hope of making a nice photo of this place to highlight it and return with family friends but unfortunately it is not the case..

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.
