The place is nice, we went there for a choir concert. Organization not great, free entry but quickly no more space and many people accumulate at the entrance despite having arrived 15 minutes in advance. Otherwise nothing to complain about!

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.
