The gardens of the historic Château de Villandry might well be the most impressive in the Loire Valley – and that's really saying something!

You could spend a whole day roaming through the immaculately arranged variety of plants, herbs, vegetables and water features, which contrast beautifully with the sober elegance of the château's architecture.

Full of history, the site of the château was once a 14th-century keep where a truce between France and England was discussed, as well as a gift once acquired by Napoleon Bonaparte for his brother.

Family Park is located in Sorigny, in the heart of Indre-et-Loire – close to some of France's most beautiful castles. Only 20 minutes away from Tours, Family Park offers 6 hectares of entertainment for young and old alike. Visit top attractions, spectacular shows, an aquatic area, and make sure you catch the local mascot, Ricky, for a meet and greet session! It's a great day out for the entire family.
