Stretching from the wooded Dordogne to the towering peaks of the Pyrenees, this vast region is a popular winter sports destination, but one without the hordes that besiege the Alps. Spring's melted snows lure kayakers and rafting enthusiasts. In summer, amateur and advanced hikers take to the hills.

My friend and I had a wonderful walk in this splendid spot, a Japanese garden within a public park. It was a delightful experience, a lovely walk on this Sunday afternoon. Worth the search... you will enjoy it! xxx

The garden at La Mothe was awarded the label "Jardin Remarquable" by the French Cultural Ministre in 2013.La Mothe is a private garden of 3500m2 created by an artist around an old Aveyron farm. It was started in 1997.The barn has been restored and there is an exhibition of items for sale, with all profits going to a charity.Drinks and homemade cakes are served daily during the summer.
I visit a lot of gardens and this one stopped me in my tracks....it’s the first garden I have thought of having a soul. Three of us, a couple and my sister visited this garden ( Trip advisor didn’t allow for this category!) where the planting encouraged a slow thoughtful exploration, at each turn a new vista opened up and layered clipped shrubs held the views. Artifice there was, but the way this garden is presented is a very personal piece of work, the hand of an artist shows. We spent a few hours here not wanting to leave, there was fun too, with kittens rolling out from under leaves, Peacock babes being herded by mum and other wildlife I’ve forgotten...oh a mouse, too taken with everything. The garden settles warmly around the house and you just want to stay longer......I will next time, by going earlier!

Created in 1974 by Gilbert Cours -Darne, an eminent French botanist (he was awarded the Olivier de Serres prize, the highest distinction bestowed by the Academie d’Agriculture), the arboretum occupies 6 hectares and contains 700 different species of trees and shrubs. Situaded by the road to Saint-Jacques de Compostelle with a view of the St Pierre de La Romieu collegiale, the Coursiana Gardens offer you an enjoyable experience in a wholly beautiful environment. Veronique and Arnaud Delannoy, the owners of the arboretum, as a result of their painstaking work received the national Edouard d’Avdeew's prize, awarded by the Association des Parcs Botaniques de France. In 2001, a partnership has been conduced with Fleurance Nature to create a medicinal and aromatic plants garden, which opened in spring 2002.
A lovely garden, well worth a visit. There are views towards the collegiale and a good variety of plants and flowers to look at. It was fairly large so there was no feeling of crowding. Recommended.
