Not worth a visit. Few rooms accesible. There are better chateaux in f. Best seen from outside! Exhibits showcase french politics n items of the family.

We visited this beautiful village at the end of September. Great parking beside the river overlooking the bridge and castle. It is picturesque. It's also worth a meander around the streets where you can find quite a few very interesting shops.

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.
