Villandry

This is my triptych of Rick's and my photos of the gardens at Villandry. The bottom section is actually a repeat of the garden in the top photo. The garden omitted is the wonderful checkerboard of green and red lettuce plots with rose trees. Just incredible!

The Château is late Renaissance. The gardens of Villandry were designed by Italian gardeners brought to France by Charles VIII. Joachim de Carvallo, who bought the property in 1906, restored the gardens. The boxwood and yew figure hedges are considered the best example of Renaissance gardens in France.
