Amazing cultural and nature historical museum inside a beautiful old monastery. One of the recommended places in this charming little town.

When we were there (Apr 21) almost everything was closed. They even refused to sell us souvenirs. The buildings are gorgeous but cry for urgent maintenance.

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.
