Les Jardins de Cadiot Gardens, Carlux

A wild & creative county garden in the heart of the Dordogne

featured in Sights & Sites

Created in the 1980s this garden is an expression of personal inspiration and shows a strong link between artistic and landscaped garden design.

With stunning collections such as peonies, old roses, grasses, hydrangeas, salvia, daylilies, agapanthus, etc, you will find most plants are in bloom between May to October. Preserving biodiversity is an important issue, so the plants are grown without chemicals and are chosen for their ability attract pollinating insects.

The area is made up of ten distinct garden spaces - The Vegetable Garden, Orchard Cloister, The Pivoineraie, The Labyrinth, The Wild Rose Garden, The Garden of Poetry, The English garden, The Wild Garden, The Tuscan Garden and La Chambre du Sphinx.

You can sample some homemade pastries and other items made from produce grown in the garden in the Tea Room.

When to come

Open every day from the start of May through until the middle of October, from 10:00 until 19:00.
