Marie Daâge’s Country Gardens in the Loire Valley

Join us in France's enchanting Loire Valley as Marie Daâge welcomes us into the extraordinary gardens surrounding her family's historic château.

Nestled within a private park complete with a serene lake, the estate has belonged to Marie's husband Philippe's family since the early 19th century. Originally constructed in the 17th century and later transformed in the 1840s by François-Philibert Dessaignes—a prominent businessman, politician, and philanthropist—the château and its grounds offer a remarkable glimpse into France's rich cultural and horticultural heritage.

As we stroll through the property's picturesque landscapes, Marie shares the story of this treasured family estate, the evolution of its gardens through the centuries, and the joy of preserving a place where history and nature exist in perfect harmony.
