A great place, near Nemunas, has a toilet and parking

It looks very good after dark

It is very nicely arranged, but it is a pity that there are no more trees, and the surroundings are only cobblestones, shade is possible only near the church, there are still trees left there. Next to the church - Nemunas, it gives a romantic feeling, looking at the surroundings you can't help but think how people used to live here ?

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.
