Located halfway between Tours and Le Mans, the Château and Gardens of Le Lude are part of the Loire Valley's grand châteaux route. They are a UNESCO World Heritage Site. The château is one of the few of its size still inhabited, by a family that has lived there for 260 years. It overlooks the Loir Valley and is open to visitors from April 1st to October 31st and during school holidays. A unique feature: you can even try your hand at an escape game!

Located at the gates of Anjou, this magnificent building is one of the Loire castles, listed as a UNESCO world heritage site. It is one of the last still inhabited by a family, whose generations have succeeded one another for more than 250 years.

This pretty little village is located on the borders of Maine, Anjou and Touraine. In addition to being crossed by the Loir, there are also two of its tributaries, the Fare and the Meaulne. Wheat mills once inhabited its banks.

Now privately owned and impossible to visit, this beautiful chateau was first non-existent in the 1100s. It was purchased by the Sarcé family in 1822 and remained in the family until the last heir died in 1985 and was bought by a wealthy American.
