very beautiful view. I can’t say the castle itself is something particular to visit but the location is amazing. the entrance ticket is affordable so it makes sense. it is worth the visit

A beautiful sight for a low price. Nice to do in between

Stopped by when google said they were open. Walked through the gate with a sign that said closed. Walked around. Seemed decent but mostly broken down walls. Small place.

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.
