Great experience to stay at this castle overnight

This restored chateau is part hotel/B&B and part historical museum. The artifacts are as eclectic as they are varied. Don't miss the doll exhibit, especially the one with the creepy eyes. Hopefully your host will offer a taste of the local cider. All in all, this is worth a day of your life.

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.
