- Located on the site of the old fortified castle at the top of a village classified as "the most beautiful villages in France", the panoramic gardens overlook the confluence of the Dordogne-Vézère rivers. With their 360° panorama over the landscapes and roofs of the medieval village of Limeuil, they make you enjoy an extraordinary position.
  
  Throughout your journey, enjoy the educational, fun and interactive gardens (color garden, witches' garden, water garden, insect garden, etc.) laid out in a 2-hectare wooded English-style park . The gardens can be visited independently along the interpretive trails and thematic gardens. With family or friends, an Escape Game Garden is offered to you. In a group or in a school setting, the garden team offers adapted and accompanied visits with educational workshops. Also discover the insect gardens and its educational hive and giant games.

I thought it was going to stink - but it didn’t. It was natural and authentic and the caretakers took every opportunity to keep from becoming slick and Disneyfied. Good perch for aerial photos. And in a very unique display they showed how ancient residents turned their animal drawings into movie-like scenes. Another example how they were more advanced than us. Good ice cream too.

Enjoy the timeless village facades and small car-free streets at Limeuil. Wandering in the silent small streets of Limeuil you are surrounded by only old, medieval, and even older houses. It's a steep walk up-hill that leads to an excellent panorama to enjoy the surrounding landscape and rivers. It's like the village didn't change at all, the many traces show a long history back in time. Tip: plan your trip at the right moment, most certainly during the summer when the weather isn't that hot. Limeuil isn't that touristic and crowded so only a few terraces offer a place to have a drink but you might enjoy the view the most while sitting along the riverbanks. Limeuil is located at the confluence of the Dordogne and Vézère rivers. Historically both commercially and strategically on the highways of trade. This region was primarily a wine-producing area for subsequent delivery downstream to Bordeaux, on large, flat-bottomed "gabarres". A very nice historical village and on the list of the "Les Plus Beaux Villages de France" , the most beautiful small villages of France.

We arrived there at 28Sep. At this time of the year there shouldn't be too many plants blooming in the garden. Then I don't think it's really appropriate to take the full admission fee of €9 for adults. We would have happily supported the establishment with a 50% discount and then watched the autumn flowers bloom. So perhaps next time?

"Gardens are nice. Cafe awful"

Reviews posted by Neil D (Billericay, United Kingdom) on 23/07/2022

Walked round the gardens which were pretty and have some amazing views. Decided to have a sandwich and drink at the cafe which was a big mistake. They forgot our order and argued with us when we...

"Tired at the end of the summer"

Reviews posted by lturnbull2015 (Wadebridge, United Kingdom) on 18/08/2020

Im sure the gardens are beautiful at the start of the season, but I have to say I was disappointed at the many bare patches when I visited. I understand that drought is an issue in SW France, but...
