Nice place and nice, short walking route.

A beautiful 'stone house' in a beautiful setting where you can walk on 'the Path'. During the Momumentendag we ate delicious fresh pancakes and a nice waffle with warm cherries. The museum shows a square with shops and crafts from days gone by. The miniature shops above are worth a visit alone. At the back of the garden is a beautiful large red beech.

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.
