Wandering in a romantic garden - Jardins de Marqueyssac (Vézac/FR)
The almost fairytale garden and surrounding landscape of Château de Marqueyssac, it's a walk through a landscape with many faces and inspiring views. Every corner or bend is different. The surreal landscape with many boxwood trees, carefully pruned with great patience and dedication in many shapes, plays a game of depth, dimension, color, light and dark. In this size, unique and very special to see.
.
Château de Marqueyssac (17th-century) - a château and gardens located at Vézac on cliffs with spectacular panoramic views overlooking the Dordogne Valley. Build by Bertrand Vernet de Marqueyssac, Counselor to Louis XIV. The original garden à la française was attributed to a pupil of André Le Nôtre. Redesigned and restored by new owners during the 19th and second half 20th century into romantic and picturesque style gardens with nowadays more than 150,000 boxwood trees carved in fantastic shapes, terraces, alleys, linden- and cypress trees, stone pine and six kilometers of walks covering more than 22 hectare surrounding the chateau.
.
It's still a private property but open to the public since 1996 and one of the most visited garden in the Perigord region. Best know as "Jardins suspendus de Marqueyssac" (hanging gardens) or "Les Jardins de Marqueyssac", a National Historical Monument and one of the "Jardin Remarquable" of France.
