Château et parc du Lude

You will have to content yourselves with the exterior of the château as that is all that is open to the public… The picture postcard is enchanting: a stately manor house reflected in the waters of the moats, with 15th and 16th century architecture, a drawbridge, postern and Renaissance courtyard, topped of by the green setting of an English park and small, enclosed garden. And when wasvit built? The Gallo-Roman era! The first structure was erected on pilotis beside the Orléans-Limoges roman road. The pilotis (which still exist to this day) subsequently served as foundations for a medieval construction, surrounded by moats and fortified in the shape of a pentagon.
