Thank you for feedback, the location is now changed.

The location shown on the map for this monument is, although just east of the location of the villa that is associated with the funerary monument, wrong. The monument is located almost due south along the route of the Roman Road > https://goo.gl/maps/ZvmMMK42DF1Xqoyf7

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.
