Description

As it's Bastille Day in France, here's a fabulous French garden we visited last year. The overhanging gardens of Marqueyssac offer more than 6 kilometers of shaded paths, edged with 150,000 hand-pruned boxwood hedges. After extensive restoration work, Marqueyssac was re-opened to the public in March 1997. Today, it is the most visited garden in Perigord. The park, designed for walking, is situated on a spur and overlooks the entire Dordogne Valley with its chalky cliffs. It reveals the most spectacular panoramic view possible of Perigord and is a must see attraction. Thank you for you comments.

What an absolutely beautiful place and shot. I thought it was a 3D artwork using Bryce or similar at first glance. It looks so fantastical. Thanks for sharing this lovely image.
