When Joachim Carvallo visited Villandry in 1906, he found:
"The grounds [are] landscaped in the English style, all undulations and hillocks (…),
planted with a good many recently imported exotic species – cedars, pines, thujas, magnolias –
set in clumps on the slopes of artificial mounds.
The chateau itself [is lost] in a forest of trees and greenery."
Vegetables and flowers, scents and savours, calmness and energy, tranquillity and effervescence…
the Château de Villandry unveils its remarkable gardens and smells.
