Re: Villandry
Thanks Mags
I've still got pics from Chinon and Chenonceaux to Photobucket so, watch this space, as they say.
Villandry is just wonderful. The chateau itself feels 'lived in' (as it is), it has an interesting past and fascinating present, unlike, for instance, Chenonceaux, which I know people rave over but to me feels a little sterile - a musuem exhibit. And those gardens! We spent the whole day there - there's something to see around every corner.
And the perennial puzzle - how do they 'garden' inside the tight box par-terres? How can they plant out all the begonia etc? I think it must involve a step ladder type affair - maybe purpose built - what do you think?
