very nice place for a visit

The entrance is suggestive and imposing, the visit to the tower is impractical and not for everyone, the climb is very panoramic, with glass landings to highlight the height. The type of ladder, with rungs in some sections, does not make it suitable for those who do not have a minimum of physical mobility. However, everything is in maximum safety. Not very clean, I think visits are very limited. The internal park is large with a beautiful view of the river next to it.. There are no furnishings. Ample parking. However, it is worth visiting the castle if you have the opportunity to be nearby.

Villimpenta Castle is at least 8 centuries old. It opened its doors to the public in the summer of 2008. It can be visited from May 1st to September 30th, on weekends. It's very impressive!

All the ruins are full of charm... The ruins speak for themselves ?

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.
