The gardens are of the Chateau Villandry supply fruit, vegetables, and flowers, not only for the chateau, but for the neighborhood and visitors. During the months when they harvest the vegetables, guest are invited to take what is grown in return for a contribution for the grounds; a beautiful and practical way of maintaining the grounds and benefitting the community.
The view from the chateau.
The view in the gardens.
Some of the trees are still bare
as were some of the bushes
and the trellis
but signs of spring peeked out in the peach blossoms and a few flower beds.
The swans seemed to enjoy the cool weather.
The natural beauty of the gardens makes the artwork in the chateau pale by comparison :)
