Nice place to picnic under the Himalayan cedars. Nice view over the roofs of the village. The rose garden requires an additional gardener!

The town hall park is very well maintained The flower beds are magnificent The rose garden is worth the detour and the vegetable garden is a good idea to supply schools

Nice place... Rose garden to visit. I put a 2 star for the wearing of the obligatory mask for the visit of the Museum of the leather and the tannery, in spite of the low attendance ... Too bad.

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.
