The Garden of Bardot

Situated on the southwest side of the Dordogne gorges below the village of Nougein, the Jardin de Bardot covers an
area of approximately 1200 m2. Although built on a fairly steep slope, the garden is divided into horizontal terraces supported by dry-stone walls, which allow plants to be grown in the exceptional micro-climate enjoyed by the area. Most of the plants grown here are shrubs (eg holly, medlar, lilac, wild maple and vines).
