Provenance
This world opens with castles and estates whose Base Mérimée record mentions a garden. Gardens that exist as gardens — Villandry as a garden rather than as a castle — are not in the dataset yet. What follows is therefore what the source provides, not what the world will become.
01 — The collection
Gardens, parks and designed landscapes.
Gardens and parks worth visiting in their own right — including those attached to a castle that already appears in Le Roi du Château.

Château de Villandry
Villandry · Indre-et-Loire
Villandry stands in Touraine, west of Tours. Its Renaissance château and gardens have undergone significant changes over successive centuries. Joachim Carvallo and Ann Coleman acquired the estate in 1906 and restored the house; Carvallo recreated the gardens between 1908 and 1918 using historical plans, archaeological traces and garden literature. The result is a synthesis of garden traditions, rather than an untouched sixteenth-century survival. Later generations continued to develop the grounds, adding a herb garden and a sun garden. The château offers an elevated perspective over the ornamental planting and kitchen garden. Its value lies in the relationship between the residence, the designed landscape and the history of the restoration that made the present ensemble.
