A Château with a Glorious Past

Château du Lude is one of the few castles still inhabited today. Its history dates back to the 10th century, when it served as a stronghold to protect the region from Viking invasions. Transformed over the centuries, it became a luxurious residence during the Renaissance. Today, it reflects a harmonious blend of architectural styles, from medieval to classical.

The château's sumptuous interiors, majestic libraries and numerous richly furnished rooms transport visitors to a bygone era. It's a place that captures the imagination and reveals the secrets of French history.
