Château de Villandry

Villandry Château was completed toward 1536 and was the last of the large chateau built in the Loire Valley during the Renaissance. Villandry was built by Jean le Breton, one of François I?s Finance Ministers, whose coat of arms can be seen on the gable of the left-hand dormer window. Villandry stayed in le Breton?s family until 1754 and then became the property of the Marquis de Castellane, the King?s Ambassador. He built the Classical style outbuildings that you can see on either side of the front courtyard. He redesigned the interior of the chateau to meet the standards of comfort of the XVIIIth century which are much closer to those we know today than to those, which were applied during the Renaissance.
