It’s impossible not to be moved by its architecture, which blends Gothic traditions with Italian influences! It’s also a sight to behold from the gardens along the water’s edge. The must-see exhibition: “Karen Knorr Lives in the Castle”, from June 13 to November 1, a retrospective of more than forty years of work by the American photographer. At the château de Villandry, the famous Renaissance gardens take center stage. Designated a “Remarkable Garden”, they captivate visitors with their geometric flowerbeds, decorative ponds, and ornamental vegetable garden, which change with the seasons. The tour continues inside the château, built in the 18th century, where elegant furnishings, floral arrangements in every room, and a collection of antique Spanish paintings attest to the refinement of this historic residence. (Please note that the castle will be closed from November 12 through 27, 2026, and from January 5, through February 6, 2027.
