    • The remarkable garden of Périgord, a unique geographical change of scenery in France, overlooking the wild banks of the Dordogne River and the Druids' Forest, Les Jardins d'Eau are dedicated to the luxuriance of lotuses, water lilies, exotic and tropical water lilies. The multitude of varieties and colors illuminate the gardens with their beauty.

      Lotus flowers can rise more than 2 meters above the water, native to America, the Orient, and Asia where the lotus is a symbol of beauty and purity. On and between the various bodies of water, ponds, streams, and waterfalls, you will discover a veritable aquatic "arboretum" where frogs and dragonflies will welcome you.

      NEW: UNIQUE IN EUROPE, discover the 1st AQUATIC LABYRINTH, over more than 500 meters of walkway at water level, between aquatic fauna and flora.

    An incredible paradise. You can't get enough of it. The photos of the construction work are also very interesting. What a lot of imagination it takes to see the results of the excavation work decades later!
