As indicated on the sign in the parking lot, these are ruins and it is a shame not to highlight them more by signs scattered around the site. Do not hesitate to follow the surrounding wall to see the tower. To park, car park at the bottom of the site (d68) towards Bourseul, then cross a field and a steep climb of 200m), another car park at the top of the site.

Beautiful site.

A place too little known! The chateau is separate from the gîte. To access it, you have to park in a small car park 150m away on foot.

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.
