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.

A few steps from the Château de Villandry, you will find these old freestone quarries dating from the Middle Ages and petrified caves. About 100 million years ago, in the secondary era, a shallow sea covered our region. At the bottom of the sea were deposited masses of chalk which, once exposed to the air, formed the dominant rock of the Loire Valley: the Tuffeau. This soft stone, but sufficiently hard, was used in the construction of the most elegant castles of the Loire. The quarries ended up being waterlogged and abandoned.
