Beautiful trail, easy to walk

Beautiful nature, lovely paths (requires some stamina, some parts go uphill). Great landscapes and a river, that reminds me of the mountain rivers

If you go by car recommended by Waze or Google Maps, be wary of a quite steep driveway to the parking, as the gravel road has very many potholes! Other than that, the track has a lot of beautiful views and stairs, so bring a water bottle with you and of course some food to enjoy the beautiful scenery and to wind down.

Good path for a walk, includes mounds path in the woods and big greens. With a couple of open spaces for scenery shots and benches for a sandwich pitstop. It is not long, but might be a bit tricky if you are not steady on your feet because some spots near the river are slippery. Also path is not even. It does not require special gear but pay attention!

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.
