Joachim Carvallo
Edit ProfileCareer
While working with Richet"s medical research team he met by chance a young intern girl from Lebanon (Pennsylvania, United States of America) called Ann Coleman, who heritated an important syderurgic business, she felt in love with the Spanish doctor while discussing about the war that United States of America was launching against Spain to conquer Cuba (1989). They bought Château de Villandry in the Indre-et-Loire in France"s Loire Valley and began the dream of Carvallo of restoring and improving the once magnificent château and its french styled gardens. Today, the gardens are a major tourist attraction, visited by the public at large and horticulturalists from around the world.
Enrique Carvallo, the doctor"s great grandson, is the owner of Villandry and continues to enhance and expand the château"s gardens.
In 2004, Alix de Guitaut-Vienne published a history of the doctor"s lifelong work on the château in a book titled Joaquín Carvallo et l"Oeuvre de la demeure historique ().
