Horticulture fans won’t want to miss these famous manicured gardens, stretching along a rocky bluff overlooking the Dordogne Valley. Signposted paths lead through painstakingly clipped box hedges and decorative topiary to the gardens’ breathtaking ²ú±ð±ô±¹Ã©»åè°ù±ð (viewpoint), with sightlines to area castles, the Dordogne and La Roque Gageac. Thursday nights in July and August, the entire place is alight with candles (adult/child €15/7.50). Find the entrance 3km west of La Roque Gageac.
There's also a 45-minute via ferrata (www.viaferrata-marqueyssac.com) along the cliff face – included in the garden admission.
