De tuinen zijn adembenemend en we hadden het geluk om een rondleiding te krijgen (gratis) met een gids die gepassioneerd was over het leven van het kasteel. Bovendien hielden we van de warmte en menselijkheid die dit kasteel uitstraalt🥰🥰

The grand salon at Villandry features elegant furnishings, large windows with views of the gardens, and an impressive collection of art and period furniture.
The dining room inside Villandry has been decorated in the traditional style of the 18th century and features a beautiful fireplace, antique furniture, and exquisite table settings.
The ornamental gardens at Villandry are divided into the love, music, herb, and the garden of the crosses. The love garden represents tender, passionate, fickle, and tragic love through its geometric designs, whereas the music garden features topiary designs representing musical symbols and instruments. The herb garden is a treasure trove of medicinal and culinary herbs in a formal layout, and the garden of crosses features intricate patterns of boxwood hedges shaped into crosses and other symbols.
The water garden at Villandry is a tranquil area with a large pond in the shape of a Louis XV mirror, surrounded by lawns, fountains, and flowerbeds.
Villandry has an elaborate decorative vegetable garden with nine square patches, each planted with different vegetables and flowers arranged in intricate patterns.
The Sun garden is a new addition to Villandry. It features a mix of flowers and plants in warm colors, a central pond, and shaded pathways. When compared to the other gardens, the layout of the Sun Garden is more relaxed as well.
The grounds of Château de Villandry are also home to a traditional boxwood maze that offers fun and a bit of challenge as you navigate its winding paths.
