Villandry is a commune located in the Centre-Val de Loire region of France. Its history dates back to medieval times. The place is especially known for its magnificent Château de Villandry, which is one of the castles of the Loire Valley.The site where the castle is located was originally a 12th-century fortress, but it was completely renovated in the 16th century by Jean Le Breton, who was the finance minister of King Francis I. Le Breton had the current Renaissance castle built in 1536, and it is an impressive example of the architecture of the time.One of the most notable features of the castle is its gardens. These gardens are famous worldwide and are divided into several sections, including an ornamental garden, a water garden, an herb and vegetable garden, and a garden of love. These gardens were restored in the early 20th century by Dr. Joachim Carvallo, a Spanish scientist who acquired the castle and dedicated his life to restoring its original splendor.Villandry has also played a role in the history of France. In fact, it was in Villandry where, on July 4, 1189, the Peace of Guillot was signed between Henry II of England and Philip II of France.Today, Villandry is a renowned tourist attraction thanks to the splendor of its castle and its carefully designed gardens. Furthermore, the commune is part of the cultural and historical Loire Valley, classified as a UNESCO World Heritage Site.Visiting Villandry offers a perfect experience for those interested in history, architecture, and gardening, in an authentic and charming French setting.
