Gardens of the Loire châteaux

The magic of the Loire châteaux in their verdant settings
 
One of the most beautiful travel experiences that France can offer its visitors is a voyage of discovery through the gardens of the Val-de-Loire's châteaux.
Their exceptionnal architecture is inseparable from the sublime gardens and landscapes that are their settings. From Renaissance gardens to French gardens, from vegetable gardens to orchards, flowerbeds and parks, photographer Hervé Lenain helps us rediscover these magical places where time seems to have stopped, yet which are constantly reinventing themselves.
Barbara de Nicolaÿ, who wrote the text, guides us through the visit.
