In the example, the adjective (charmants) precedes the noun (tableaux), so the de is not "pluralized".

Let's get you talking in French.

We love French people and French culture - from buttery croissants and delicate macarons to gorgeous gardens and gilded châteaux! And there's no better way to connect with them than by learning le français.
