Very enjoyable. Spent 3-4 hours here mooching around, and having a picnic lunch. The kids really enjoyed the circus skills. Very quiet. A lovely place to have a chill.

We had a lovely day, despite only speaking a bit of French. Plenty to see and do, and the Circus entertainers were fabulous and hilarious, again, even with our very limited French. 10 year old daughter had a great time. We will definitely go back again.

Visited in the summer holidays, fun place to spend a couple of hours. There was enough history and extra children's activities were laid on, which was thoughtful and probably necessary, either way it improved the trip

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.
