Villandry Gardens

After Tours we jumped in the van and headed to the Villandry Gardens. The last ticket was sold at 7pm, and we got there around 6:45. Whew. We paid and went into the gardens and, other than one other couple there, we were the only people in the place! It was an awesome garden. I didn't take any pictures with my own camera because it was almost sunset and my camera doesn't take low-light pictures as well as my parents'. There was a "sun" garden, which just meant that all the flowers were in warm colors, then next to it was the garden with all the flowers in cold colors. There was a maze, which really wasn't a maze because all the paths led to the middle and it was easy to find. There were veggies grown in the garden and all kinds of different bushes and trees. It was a great little stop on our way to Chenonceaux and a perfect night to see the gardens in full bloom.
