Nice short walk if you park at the hotel. Views are great over to Herman. Would recommend if your wanting a walk but don't have so much time.

Great place to have a quick break while seeing the fort. Also a good place to read a book with atmosphere.

If you like hiking or biking, it is a wonderful place. I just felt peace in this ruin and did enjoy the view around here. Pack your picnic stuff and just pick a good weather day to enjoy it.

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.
