More Tourist Ideas

As part of the entertainment programme, we took Paul and Jennifer to the Gardens at Marqueyssac on the Dordogne.  They are gardens of topiary around a small house ...

 ...set on a raised plateau looking over the river Dordogne.

 

 I wasn't too keen about this visit as I think gardens should be about colour and flowers, but I thoroughly enjoyed it with its wonderful views over the surrounding countryside.  And it is brilliant for children!  Lots of swings and play areas and a marvelous cliff-face rope walk for everyone over 8 years old and 1.30 metres tall.

The topiary was all architectural but gave the gardens a unifying theme. 

Visitors (and we) were happy!
