Nice area and park, the smaller buildings are beautifully restored. The largest one on the hill needs some overhaul. A good place if it would receive some more love.

A beautiful castle with a great garden! If youre around and want a day off, you can go there and take a relaxing walk through the garden.

Beautiful park, castle nicely maintained, worth a Sunday walk :) or during the week to check the permanent exhibitions in the pavillions. You can also arrange weddings at the castle and take great pictures in the courtyard.

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.
