Fantastic castle, nice hike. The castle can be reached by a 45 min walk from where the dirt road starts after leaving the town of Mironcillo. Don't try to drive it with a "normal" car as it won't bring you good. The way is very scenic. It reminded me of California. The castle is in good shape although closed from the public. Very unfortunate but the hike still worths it. You won't meet many fellow tourists on the way. Take plenty of water if climbing in Summer.

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.
