It's a shame that in summer they are only open until 7am. We arrived at 4.50 am, but they didn't let us in

I want to give 6 out of 5. Especially to very nice guide who was very kind, talkstive and gave us many insights. Even light a fireplace on rainy day to make us more comfortable. He truly loves his job. Thank you for great time!

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.
