Place is under construction and essentially private. Went there as it said they’re open and have a café… no chance! Not worth going to if one expects to see something. They do have a parking lot though… and a nice one at that. It’s 1,- Swiss francs per hour to park there.

Absolute waste of time. This a run down castle that now appears to be used as apartments, that are not well maintained. Shutters missing or falling down, windows broken and garbage around. It is complete disrepair and doesn’t even feel safe. There is free parking right across the street but don’t be fooled. Avoid this one!

Organic farm produce. Have to order online and pick it up four times a year. There is not a regular shop

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.
