Gardens of Marqueyssac

The gardens of Marqueyssac listed as a National Historical Monument offer more than 6 kilometers of shaded pathes, edged with 150 000 hand-pruned boxwoods aged over hundred years. The Chateau dates back to the 17th century and has a 500 ton slate roof.

The park, designed for walking, is situated on a spur and overlooks the entire Dordogne Valley with its chalky cliffs. It reveals the most spectacular panoramic view possible of PĂ©rigord.
