Village médiéval du Temple-sur-Lot
Description
The medieval village developed in the 13th century around the Commandery founded by the Templars on their return from the Crusades. The village has preserved a few half-timbered houses, its convent, its dovecote, the wisteria bridge and the family home of the famous Joseph Bory Latour Marliac.
The latter founded the Water Lily Garden, the oldest water lily nursery in the world. It covers 2.5 hectares and presents nearly 250 species of hardy and tropical water lilies, including the giant Amazonian water lily! Mr. Latour Marliac, naturalist and horticulturist, worked on the hybridization between local white hardy varieties and colored tropical varieties. He presented his work at the World Fair of 1889 where he crossed paths with a certain Claude Monet?
