A pretty mansion to visit from the outside. Despite some difficulties in maintaining some exteriors, we feel a real desire to do well. It is very nice to walk around and look at their vegetable garden. Interior not visited

Very nice visit with a very efficient art history student guide on the history of this mansion and on the different details of everything that furnishes this mansion. Along the way, the mansion houses the kitchen which was used as a filming location for the Tipiak advertisement. The garden is also very pretty, it is an English garden with a vegetable patch. An outbuilding houses an exhibition area where we were able to meet a local painter with paintings typical of the region and landscapes that we encountered during our stay.

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.
