On Sunday, we traveled to the Loire Valley to see a few of the famous chateaus that dot the country-side. Above is Chateau Villandry that owes its fame to the terraces of gardens around it.
Chateau Villandry was the last of the great Renaissance Chateaus built on the banks of the Loire.
The garden of love.
The ornamental garden is composed of two sections on the same level as the chateau: the garden of love and the garden of music. They also had a water garden that you can see to the far left and a herb garden. The view was truly magnificent.
