Beautiful ruins of a triangular hilltop castle, which is worth visiting especially in spring, when vegetation still gives the opportunity to see the remains of the outwork. Guided tours are possible by prior arrangement with the owners and are lovingly designed.

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.
