In 2023, we celebrate the 45th anniversary of Air Touraine, and for this occasion, we are offering a new exclusive flight: The Tours - Villandry.
We invite you to meet with your experienced pilot and our ground assistant at the Tours Airport*.
After a safety briefing, you will board the helicopter for a 20-minute flight:
Equipped with a helmet featuring a microphone, you will be able to freely communicate with the pilot who will describe the stunning panorama unfolding before your eyes:
the city of Tours, the Château de Luynes, the Loire River, the Château de Villandry, the Cher River, the vineyards of Vouvray, and other estates and properties that enrich our beautiful region.
+ Château de Villandry and its Gardens
Château de Villandry is the last of the great Loire Châteaux to be built in the Loire Valley during the Renaissance. The sober elegance of its architecture combined with the charm of itsremarkable gardens make this monument one of the jewels of World Heritage.
From the air, you will discover its full grandeur and the six sumptuous gardens that contribute to its fame.
- The vegetable garden
- The ornamental garden,
- The water garden,
- The medicinal plant garden
- The maze, and the sun garden.
Each of its owners, including Jean Le Breton, Francis I’s minister, Marquis de Castellane, Louis XV’s ambassador of Louis XV, Jerome Bonaparte, Napoleon I’s brother, and Joachim Carvallo, contributed to making Villandry one of the Loire’smost beautiful Châteaux.
In the Loire Valley, perhaps more than anywhere else, the Loire and the tufa hillsides form an ideal setting for the majesty of the great Loire Châteaux and the arts of gardening and winegrowing.
