Chenonceau flowers

Chenonceau is not all about vieilles pierres and flowing water. It's also not all about the gardens of Diane and Catherine. There are also fine, colorful flower gardens you can walk through. These are flowers that will decorate the interior of the château, I guess, and maybe the restaurants on the château grounds as well.

  2. Loving that bright red Salvia in the last photo. And those big marigolds. I wonder how they keep the deer from eating all those.

    1. Thanks Mary. Until I found those photos on my computer a day or two ago, I didn't even remember that I had seen all those flowers at Chenonceau back in 2011. Friends from Boston MA were visiting and we went there, as well as to other châteaux while they were here.
