Beautiful vestige of a rich past. The tree at the entrance is splendid.

It's not worth going extra, but if you're nearby you can look at the former church

What a pleasure to walk through the forest with this man, Gérard, retired from the ONF, a passionate man who has dedicated his life to these places and "its trees". All of his captivating stories and stories truly thrilled us. What to say then, at the end of the walk, of this moment of conviviality, organized by the Office, with all the participants of the hike to make us discover (free of charge) many products from local producers of organic fruit juice and micro breweries. A delight. A great success.

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.
