Jardins du Manoir d'Eyrignac
A French formal garden run by the same family for 500 years, with precisely clipped yew and hornbeam 'green sculptures', recognised as one of France's 'Remarkable Gardens'.
The Manoir d'Eyrignac has been owned by the same family continuously since the 17th century, and the garden is famous for its 'green sculptures': yew, box and hornbeam clipped into geometric galleries, obelisks and mazes. There are also a white garden, French parterres, a kitchen garden and a rose garden, all shaped entirely by hand by gardeners. It has been designated one of France's 'Jardins remarquables'. Admission is about €16. On summer weekends there are picnic areas and events. It lies about 13 km from Sarlat and is best reached by car.
