| Say "garden" and people will spontaneously answer "festival" in reference to the inevitable International Garden Festival of Chaumont-sur-Loire. The Loir-et-Cher has green fingers ! No fewer than 16 sites in the Loire Valley represent the same passion, that of gardens. Under the brand name "Jardins Passions", these gardens open their gates during the tourist season to share their art with you.
If some are directly influenced in their style by the castle built on their grounds, others which often are the result of a family influence, favour a more contemparary approach. To discover them, you just need to follow the dragonfly, their symbol. It will guide you all along the Loire Valley.
Whether it is creative, greedy, botanical or historcal, all your passions can be satisfied. The choice is yours! |
