Last time we went to Villandry we decided just to visit the gardens, but recently I have read Monty Don’s chapter on the gardens in which he explains that the whole point of the gardens here was the overview from the house. He is right. The house is lovely, particularly loved the pink panelled dining room, but it is the glimpses one gets from the house and then the aspect from the parterre that are breathtaking.

As you know I would not be a gardener but when we took the car through France a few years ago on our way to visit you and Sile, Mary and I made a visit to Villandry and still remember the views of the garden from the house. really stunning.
thanks for the photos and memories
