Visit during Heritage Days, I was seduced by this magnificent castle. It must be said that I am passionate about history, particularly the Middle Ages. Completely won over by the guide who accompanied us that day. Laëtitia or Jessica, I have a doubt ? who, with both her culture and her humor, gave us a wonderful time ?

Unfortunately we got there too late, and it was about to be closed, but on of the employees made us short history and let us know that there a lot more fun activities to be done at the Château de St. Felix.We will try to definitely come back to visit the castle.

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.
