Château de Villandry

The château de Villandry is known for its gardens, which are impressive even in winter. What we didn’t expect was over-the-top Christmas decorations.

My personal favorite
M said, “Why did they do this?”

This château is privately owned (!). Who decides how much to decorate? (And what was the budget!?!) The owner? The property manager? The owner’s Christmas-crazed, animal-loving children?

The pièce de résistance
Perhaps inspired by the ornate ceiling?

You don’t realize the full glory of this tree until you examine it closely… Yes, those are camels in there!

Then, when you think it’s all over – nope, there’s more!
