The Eyrignac Gardens
Just a few minutes from Sarlat, the Gardens of the Manoir d’Eyrignac have been maintained by the same family for 22 generations! They were the first gardens to open to visitors in Dordogne.
You can wander through the 7 different spaces created within this magnificent park. Along the way, you will discover topiary art, the flower garden and the Japanese-inspired garden.
What makes Eyrignac truly original is its evening White Picnics, held in summer under the rays of the setting sun.
