French Chateau Living: The Château du Lude

French Chateau Living: The Château du Lude

Providing intimate insight into life in a French chÃ¢teau, this volume takes readers on an insiderâ€™s tour of the ChÃ¢teau du Lude, a private residence that features its original decorative interiors.

Nestled in the idyllic Loire Valley, the ChÃ¢teau du Lude is one of the most historic chÃ¢teaus in France; Bluebeard besieged the castle on his way to join Joan of Arcâ€™s crusade, and it earned the rare distinction of having survived the French Revolution intact. Today, the Lude is inhabited and impeccably maintained by the Count and Countess Louis-Jean de Nicolay, whose family has owned the property for over 250 years. They invite readers to discover the chÃ¢teauâ€™s well-preserved interiors and gardens, which feature a medieval kitchen, an Italian Renaissance studiolo, and exceptional horse stables, offering a glimpse into the lifestyle of the chÃ¢teauâ€™s inhabitants, past and present. Newly commissioned photographs offer unprecedented access into the hidden corners of the estate otherwise closed to the general public.
