The Gardens of Marqueyssac

Marqueyssac's romantic and picturesque gardens are a listed site, set around an early 19th-century slate-roofed castle, and offer more than 6 kilometres of walks lined with 150,000 hundred-year-old, hand-trimmed box trees and embellished with belvederes, rockeries, dry-stone huts, etc. Perched on a rocky spur, the Belvedere offers one of the most impressive panoramic views of the Périgord valley and its castles, and is rated 3 stars in the Michelin Green Guide.
