Tips

  • Guillaume Favez

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

  • à découvrir pour ses jardins! Mais ne raté tout de même pas une visite du petit village et son église qui en vaut le détour!
    the castle of Villandry is more famous for its gardens to discover! But don't miss a visit to the small village and its church, it is well worth a detour!

  • A few turns of the wheels from Tours, along the Loire à Vélo: very good plan for a nice visit.
