Villandry

Villandry

The Versailles of Vegetables

Organized in square patterns, Villandry's world-famous potager (vegetable garden) is seasonally ablaze with purple cabbages, bright pumpkins, and many other heirloom veggies. In total, there are nearly 150,000 plantings, with two seasonal shows presented—the spring one is a veritable "salad." The fall one comes to fruition in late September or early October and is the one with the pumpkins. Paging Cinderella.
