Full description The Dordogne Valley is a treasure trove of majestic castles and lush gardens that will transport anyone to fulfil their dreams of feeling like a medieval aristocrat in France.

A velvety grassy setting welcomes you to 25 acres of pristinely sculpted gardens composed of hornbeams, yews, boxwoods and cypresses, adorned with white petals.
