During these All Saints holidays, the Villandry Castle
opens its history to you with the visits “Castle life(s)!”. The big one, “The Château de Villandry is the last of the great Loire châteaux erected during the Renaissance in the Loire Valley. In line with François I, Jean Breton, the King’s Finance Secretary, transformed the medieval fortress of Colombiers into an elegant castle representative of the architectural audacity of the Renaissance.”
But also its more intimate story, who lived there, how did we live there? How was a building of this size heated, what furniture was there? So many questions that will be answered during these fun family visits.
