The Château de Villandry, whose construction began in the 16th century, is particularly known for its gardens, which cover more than six hectares spread over four levels. The castle is perfectly maintained and can be visited year-round, but it is for its gardens that Villandry is a must-see.

Villandry Castle is one of the Loire Valley castles renowned for the beauty of its gardens. During the beautiful seasons, trees, shrubs and flowers color the decor with iridescent hues. Built between the 16th and 18th centuries, the castle is today a private property open to the public. It is possible to visit its interior which houses occasional and permanent exhibitions. The entire castle and its gardens were included in the list of historic monuments in 1927.
