This medieval monastery lies on the banks of Xeros river. You can’t visit it without recalling scenes from movies as the landscape and the whole building directly trickers them. Driving towards it is rough but it’s worth every inconvenience

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.
