Villandry chateau - interior

I use a tray like one of these for storing apples, potatoes, shallots.



 I love the door panelling on the scullery door.
The flower displays are not as magnificent as Chenonceau but lovely in their simplicity.
Lots of oil paintings in almost every room
Wallpaper
Now this I found amusing!
English books in a display cabinet in the French children's room!!

UPDATE 25 July 2014:
Amazon are selling this book at $23 or 18 euros!

  1. Re the childrens books -- remember their mother was American.

  2. Thank you .... There is such a lot of information about the history of a chateau... the architecture, the people who lived there, the politics and social setting of the eras/epochs, the gardens..... etc....
    Maybe the amusement with the title is an English thing!

It would be lovely to hear what you think.
