Villandry

With the kids we didn't want to overdo the chateau visits so decided to get the first one overwith. We chose Villandry with the USP of its incredible gardens. They are truly an amazing site. What is more remarkable is that for such a large area, there is no evidence of ongoing maintenance. I could only guess they do it at night when the chateau is closed.

It was hot today, we ate a picnic in the shadow of the chateau before returning to the Gite for a swim.
