Quite a large complex, which recognizes or gives an idea of ​​the dimensions of the former Roman camp. The explanatory signs are unfortunately not all in the right place, which requires a little abstraction. One can certainly argue about the concept of making the floor plan recognizable by planting instead of a true-to-life reconstruction. The different gravel colors, which are supposed to distinguish modern from historical routes, are more likely to be guessed at than recognized. All in all, a nature-loving facility.

Today we were here to spend a nice afternoon. It was also worth it. The facility is very nice, but also very spacious. The museum is stocked with many great exhibits. Our son also liked it. (9) You can learn a lot about the Romans. Entry for four adults and one child with 15 euros is always good.

Outdoors, the marks of the Romans on the landscape are made visible, and you can literally walk on the history of the land. Indoors, a small municipal museum with a modern concept awaits ypu. Children as well as adults can interact with objects and displays to learn about the Roman limes in general and the nearby former Roman camp.

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.
