La Chapelle-aux-Choux

Highlight • Settlement

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.

Château du Lude

Highlight • Castle

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.

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!
