Château de Regnière-Écluse was built originally around 1030 and it has been in the hands of same family since then. In the 19th century the castle and garden were altered to the current neogothic appearance. The oldest part dates from the late 16th century.
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.
