I have already been able to visit Eschelberg Castle for two writing retreats and have been inspired by the silence and the wonderful energy of the place. A special experience, an absolute recommendation for all authors and people who need time for themselves!

Great atmosphere, highly recommended for all types of events, in the castle courtyard or in the large hall.

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.
