Located in the small Beauce, not far from Blois, at the heart of an agricultural land, the castle of Talcy was over the centuries a "house of fields" from which depended many farms and lands. All the current structures of the property – the dovecote, the walled garden, the park and the warren, as well as the agricultural estate – were set up during the Renaissance by the Salviati. This family of Florentine bankers was related to the Medici, one of whose daughters, Cassandra, is known to have inspired Ronsard in 1545 with the famous lines "Mignonne allons voir la rose..." , first poem of his Ode to Cassandra (1553). The gardens of the castle of Talcy, by their agricultural identity, closely associate ornamental and utilitarian function. For example, in the eastern part of the estate, a full-wind orchard is managed as eco-grazing and welcomes sheep, giving the image of a certain pastoral poetry. There is nevertheless a great permanence of the garden elements, with four main parts: a vegetable garden divided into cultivation squares, a parterre cut into four compartments, courtyards, including a dovecote, and finally regular paths lined with cherry trees leading to the wood. The latter, covering half a hectare, reveals, through a central perspective, a visual opening towards the landscapes of the agricultural Petite Beauce. In 2014, following the completion of a comprehensive study of the site, a management plan is put in place and rehabilitation works are launched. More recently, the new head gardener, Julien Taulard, is working to restore the conservatory orchard, collection garden, and old varieties are grown in trellised form.
