Marqueyssac Gardens

The estate features an 18th-century château garden that was transformed after 1861 into a landscape of boxwood, cypress, and cyclamen. Designated as a Remarkable Garden, the 22-hectare site serves as a prominent example of 19th-century garden design and boxwood cultivation.

The grounds contain over six kilometers of shaded paths winding through a labyrinth of 150,000 hand-pruned, centuries-old boxwood trees. These hanging gardens include various stone huts and viewpoints integrated into the picturesque layout, which has earned three stars in the Michelin Green Guide.

A belvedere provides panoramic views of the Dordogne valley and its historic castles. The gardens are open to the public, with recorded attendance reaching 220,000 in 2022.
