The Estate

Perhaps it is only from the air that one can fully appreciate the unparalleled grandeur of Château du Grand-Lucé and its gardens.  The estate is comprised of thirty hectares of land, several smaller buildings and the château itself.  As you can see, there is a small lake at the base of the French-style gardens.
 

Wander throughout the gardens and make discoveries along the way.  This is the pretty rose garden set among the boxwood hedges.  Distant views will remind you that you have chosen one of the most appealing regions of France for your vacation. 
 

Afternoon light warmly bathes the ancient boxwood gardens, meticulously tended in keeping with the orderly and symmetrical style of les jardins français. Stroll the estate to your heart's content, and take away with you memories of this most wonderful château.
