My new town Rue, at the top of the hill with its magnificent castle. Rue is the smallest town in Europe and offers stunning views of the Alps and Pre-Alps. Absolutely worth visiting!

A charming medieval town in the countryside, the town hall restaurant is a must and you absolutely must stop.

Very nice point of view, but the castle cannot be visited, it is private property

Since it is impossible to access from the outside, it is a pity

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.
