Villandry Castle garden expedition
First stop? Let the gentle whispers of the Ornamental Garden lure you in with its mesmerizing designs. The Ornamental Garden is renowned for its geometric precision and harmonious layout. Divided into multiple sections, each with its own distinct theme and design, the garden offers a visual feast of symmetry and elegance. Then, get ready to be amazed by the practical beauty of the Vegetable Garden - it's not just for show, it's a living, breathing masterpiece of French gardening tradition! And for all you romantics out there, don't forget to wander through the Rose Garden, where vibrant blooms beckon with their intoxicating scents.
Get lost in the Maze
Don't forget to swing by the "Gardens of Love". Each square tells a unique love story: "Tender Love" with hearts separated by flames, "Passionate Love" with tangled boxwood symbolizing passion, "Flighty Love" represented by fans and symbols of deceived love, and "Tragic Love" depicted by dagger blades and red flowers symbolizing romantic duels.
But wait, there's more! For those craving a bit of mystery and excitement, make sure to get lost in the Maze - it's a journey you won't soon forget!
