The Kitchen Garden, known as “La Potager”, is a magnificent work of vegetables, lattice gazebos, and vibrant colors. This decorative vegetable garden was the reason Château de Villandry first became well-known. Covering three acres, it is home to forty types of Renaissance era vegetables and 250,000 plants.

In 1934 the Château was declared a 'Monument Historique', a French national monument, and more recently as part of the Loire Valley it became a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Below you can see the Water Garden.

The Garden of Love features four symmetrical quadrants, each representing a different aspect of Renaissance love: Tender Love, Passionate Love, Fickle Love, and Tragic Love.

Over the summer the garden is open one evening for a festival called 'The Night of a Thousand Lights'. Two thousand candles illuminate the garden, and Baroque music is played live as you take a romantic stroll through the gardens.
