Step into a world of elegance and history with your Skip-the-Ticket-Line Ticket to the Château de Villandry, one of the Loire Valley’s most stunning estates. Famous for its meticulously designed Renaissance gardens, Villandry offers visitors a unique glimpse into France’s rich cultural heritage.

Originally built in the 16th century by Jean Le Breton, the château stands on the site of an ancient fortress. Over the centuries, it has been home to notable figures, including Jérôme Bonaparte, the brother of Napoleon. In the early 20th century, the château was lovingly restored by Joachim Carvallo and his wife Ann Coleman, transforming it into the masterpiece it is today.

Your visit begins as you stroll through the formal gardens, carefully crafted into intricate geometric patterns. The water garden offers a peaceful retreat, while the ornamental flower gardens and vegetable gardens showcase the artistry of French garden design. Climb the tower of the 14th-century keep for panoramic views of the estate and the surrounding countryside.

The château itself is a marvel of Renaissance architecture, with each room offering a glimpse into its storied past. Learn about the history of Villandry as you wander through its halls, from the meeting of King Philip II of France and Richard the Lionheart to its transformation under the care of the Carvallo family.
