I have to admit France ignited my love for historic architecture, and this tour of French Garden kicks off at the holy grail: Versailles. The first episode coves the major historic palaces, while the second and third cover gourmet gardens, and artistic gardens across France.
King Henry VIII is best known for his 6 tumultuous marriages, reforming the English church, and this grand palace. This docuseries explores the lavish lifestyle of King Henry, and the real life drama surrounding the reconstruction of his magnificent estate: Hampton Court Palace.
Great Britain has been a world power for ages, and this series explores the long line of amazing British Castles. Each episode takes a look at a different castle across England, Scotland, Wales, or Northern Ireland.
I hope you enjoyed this list of 10 binge worthy shows about palaces and gardens! Shows like these always inspire me to make some worthy additions to my bucket list, and I hope you feel the same! Now go enjoy some armchair traveling!

Whether you're new to the show or a longtime fan, Castle will be sure to add some romance, laughs, suspense, mystery and more to your TV binging... Always.
1. It all begins in "Flowers for Your Grave." Castle is a carefree playboy writer. Beckett is all-business with really short hair. Opposites attract. These two make for the perfect crime-solving team. Castle says, "There's always a story. You just have to find it." This is something real-life writers James Patterson and Stephen J. Cannell know, as they tell Castle to always keep digging.
2. In "Nanny McDead," Beckett is surprised to learn that Castle used to take Alexis to the park when she was little. She never figured him for Mr. Mom. Those were the best days of Castle's life. The park was a great place to pick up lonely single moms. When the case is over, Alexis thanks Castle for being her nanny. Castle says, "No sweat, kiddo." Best days of his life.
4. In "Hell Hath No Fury," Castle can't stand the coffee down at the precinct, so he buys the squad an espresso machine. Beckett refuses to try a cup until no one else is around. Too bad Castle catches her in the act. He knows how she likes her coffee. And Beckett knows that the character he's naming after her is called Nikki Heat. She thinks it sounds like a stripper.
5. In "A Chill Goes Through Her Veins," we learn that Beckett puts on her dad's watch and wears her mother's ring as part of her morning routine. Castle learns that his partner's mom was killed when she was a kid. This has him curious about Johanna Beckett's unsolved murder. Note: It's Esposito, not Castle, who gives Beckett a coffee at the crime scene in this one.
7. In "Home is Where the Heart Stops," Beckett and Castle must attend a gala ball together. She's dressed to kill and he's, well, "ruggedly handsome." Heads turn as this stunning couple makes a memorable entrance. Other memorable moments include Ryan and Esposito giving Castle a long list of words they use other than "perp."
8. Beckett throws a poker game in "Ghosts" to help Castle save face. A rematch is forthcoming. Castle wants to play for clothes, but Beckett prefers the pot be filled with Gummy Bears.
9. In "Little Girl Lost," Beckett is upset that Nikki Heat is naked on her partner's new book cover. Castle counters that she's not really naked, as she's holding a gun "strategically." One other cool moment in this one is Castle waiting with two cups of coffee outside the crime scene. A tradition begins.
10. In "A Death in the Family," Castle continues to dig into the mystery behind Johanna Beckett's murder. He does so behind his partner's back even though he was warned that they'd be over if he ever touched the case. Season 1 ends with Castle telling Beckett he needs to speak with her. It's about her mother.
11. Castle apologizes for violating his partner's trust regarding her mom's murder in "Deep in Death." Beckett says she'll see him tomorrow. It's just enough to let Castle know they are a team once again.
13. In "Inventing the Girl," Castle learns that the girl who used to babysit Alexis is now a fashion model. They used to watch High School Musical together. The babysitter and Alexis. Not Castle. At least, we assume not Castle.
15. In "When the Bough Breaks," Castle is tapped to re-launch a franchise about a British secret agent, He says, "I don't know that I'm ready to walk away from Nikki Heat." Also, Beckett learns that Castle called her "extraordinary" in his book dedication.
20. In "One Man's Treasure," Alexis gets an internship down at the station. When she finds a crime victim's sentimental photo album, she tracks down the owner's grateful daughter. Castle was happy having his daughter working near him, but this moment also made him very proud.
22. A bridesmaid is murdered in "A Rose for Everafter." The bride happens to be Kyra Blaine. For Castle, she's the one that got away. He perks up when the blushing bride tosses her bouquet only to have it land in Beckett's hands.
23. In "Sucker Punch," Beckett says, "If you tell anyone what I'm about to say, there's going to be another shooting, but I've gotten used to you pulling my pigtails. I have a hard job, Castle, and having you around makes it a little more fun." Love the "pigtails" part.
25. In "Suicide Squeeze," Beckett gets super-giddy when she meets Joe Torre. It's nice to see that side of her. Another cool moment is when Alexis offers to play catch with Castle since this is something he never got to do with his own dad.
29. In "Wrapped Up in Death," Castle thinks he's cursed especially after an attack dog chomps out the back of his pants. Beckett shoots a furtive glance at his exposed backside as he walks away.
32. In "Food to Die For," Beckett's old friend, Madison thoroughly embarrasses her. She says, "You're hot for Castle. You want to make little Castle babies." Of course, Castle is bummed in this one when he sees Beckett is already sharing a coffee with Detective Tom Demming.
33. In "Overkill," Castle and Demming do their best to one-up each other to solve a case. It's all about the never-ending pursuit of justice. Actually, it's all about the never-ending pursuit of Kate Beckett.
34. In "A Deadly Game," Beckett abruptly breaks up with Demming. She may finally be ready to open up to Castle. Then she looks like she's been punched in the gut when she learns that her partner is spending the summer with his ex, Gina. Thankfully, they both say they'll see each other in the fall.
35. In "A Deadly Affair," Castle bets Beckett that he can crack a case before she does. He wins, so she has to take him back as his partner even though it appears she solved the case first. And so begins a new season of coffees for two.
38. In "Punked," Castle's latest creation isn't a new book. It's a s'morelet! That's a graham cracker, marshmallows and a chocolate bar wrapped inside egg. That's not the only thing new in New York. There's a handsome man named Josh walking Beckett out of the station at night.
40. The elusive, sadistic Triple Killer makes his first appearance in the aptly titled "3XK." The nice reflective moment Castle and Beckett share after Jerry Tyson gets away is just one more example of the bond these two share.
43. Lyle Lovett guest starred in "Close Encounters of the Murderous Kind" as Agent Westfield. Lance Henricksen also made an appearance as UFOlogist Benny Stryker. Castle calls him the "Tony Robbins of alien abduction."
45. Natalie Rhodes has been cast as Castle's latest literary creation in "Nikki Heat." She wants to experience the passion her character feels for her leading man. That's why Natalie/Nikki is caught kissing Castle in the elevator.
46. In "Poof! You're Dead," Castle, Beckett and Ryan share a little chuckle. They are amused because Lanie and Esposito still think nobody knows about their not-so-secret relationship.
47. In "Knockdown," Castle and Beckett act like drunken lovers to distract a bad guy. To sell the act, they engage in "The Kiss." Castle says, "That was amazing!" And he wasn't talking about Beckett's takedown of the bad guy. This is also the episode where Castle tells Beckett he's her "plucky sidekick."
48. In "Lucky Stiff," Castle realizes Beckett would want to honor her mother's legacy if she ever hit the lottery. That's why he puts the wheels in motion to start a law school scholarship fund in her name. Castle just can't stay out of Beckett's personal life and, for that, she's most grateful.
49. In "The Final Nail," Castle is crushed to learn that his old boarding school pal was involved in murder. Beckett helps him through this difficult time. It happens to be Valentine's Day, so it's fitting that the two of them are together.
