Le Lude
This castle has been home to the same family for over two centuries and it shows: four distinct facades trace 800 years of architectural evolution, from medieval fortress to Italian Renaissance ornamentation. The Jardin Remarquable gardens along the Loir river are equally impressive, with 17th-century terraces, an English park, and a contemporary rose garden.
