Description
The labyrinth at Villandry. It's made up of hornbeam hedges (known as charmilles in French). Though many people use the terms labyrinth & maze interchangeably, there is a difference. A labyrinth has only one path which leads to the center, while a maze has many branches, dead ends & choices to make. Mazes are puzzles to solve, while labyrinths can be either decorative or walked as a form of meditation.

I can just see it now; a whole bunch of kids let loose to play hide -n- seek/tag in this maze absolutely wild
A very symmetrical shot and a beauty.
A wonderful shot of this elaborate walk way and the surroundings.
Beautiful picture!!!!!
so many details, historical scene! superb pic!
Excellent gardens.
Lovely looking place and capture!
I did not know that distinction, how fascinating; and what a beautiful garden it is. Wonderful shot!
Sweet shot. Some gardener has a lifetime of job security here.
Beautiful capture – I was not aware of the difference!
There are labyrinths in this area that are specifically for meditation. I'd love to walk one. Movement is so "un-sticking" for me.
A very complex setup!
Another beautiful POV and a must zoom!
