As a photographer with the Tourist Office, I'm off with my camera to discover the nuggets to be discovered!

escape In the heart of nature

Discover The gardens

There are places that soothe from the very first steps. At the Jardins d’Eau de Carsac, it’s the water that leads the way. It flows, shimmers, whispers, guiding the walk like an invisible thread. And around it, a whole world of plants blossoms gracefully.

Here, lotuses and water lilies are the stars. Their giant leaves float on the surface! As you walk along the wooden walkways, you’ll discover an abundance of biodiversity. Papyrus, rare aquatic plants, waterfalls, pools… It’s a complete change of scenery.

But the highlight of the tour is the labyrinth. The only one of its kind in Europe, it winds its way over the water, inviting young and old alike to get lost with a smile. You turn, you search, you laugh… until you find your way out!

The friends of your walk Koi Carp

And then there are the Koi carp: they come to the edge of the pools to wave, captivating children and touching adults. You can watch them and marvel.

Open every day from 1 May to 30 September, the Water Gardens offer a timeless interlude. You come here to dream, to breathe, to reconnect with life.

Alone, in pairs, in a group: it doesn’t matter. This garden is a bubble. An ode to slowness, beauty and, especially in summer, coolness!
