Quiet surroundings. Close to the road with plenty of parking spots. Toilets available on the premises.

Excellent and surprisingly inexpensive for the quality on offer. Audio guide included at no extra charge for a really interesting walk and talk through traditional Normandy life for ordinary people. It also has a garden inspired by Flaubert's Emma Bovary - Maupassant came from

Amazing Chateau, in a series of Chateaux in the région centre. It has a lot of its character intact, and has a wow feel about it.

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.
