The gardens of the Château of Villandry: absolute perfection

What precision, what symmetry… The level of perfection in the gardens of the Château of Villandry won’t fail to impress! The plant maze, pond and ornamental garden are perfect for relaxing in. The Renaissance style vegetable garden is composed of nine identically-sized square plots, each with a geometric pattern containing a mix of flowers and vegetables of different colours. The overall effect is one of a multi-coloured checkerboard, with blue leeks, jade green carrot leaves and the famous Villandry red cabbage.
