It's always nice to go. They treat you like a citizen and you feel part of the municipal administration. Rafa, the municipal architect, is an involved public servant. A crack. The best.

It smells weird inside and I think I saw a rat, it was a rat or a small cat I don't know exactly. They should check the plumbing.

It had not been there for 2 years, renovated. Super friendly, efficient and excellent treatment, nothing to do with what we are used to in public administrations.

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.
