During the quick one day castle excursion, our second stop was Villandry. Villandry is also a castle from the renaissance with gorgeous gardens that are still kept today. By the time we got there, the castle was closing for tours, but we visited the gardens which were some of the most beautifully kept organic gardens that I have ever seen. What is even more cool about this place is that people go there to buy their groceries. My favorite part was the walkway that encircled the gardens which was lined with grape vines. I am in love with French/Italian grapes, I have never eaten a fruit this good, I wish I could save that taste and bring it back home for everyone to taste.
The garden area was huge and it has various ornamental gardens, vegetable gardens, a large pond, play area, and some mazes. Enjoy the pictures!

All the vegetable gardens were very nicely arranged.
