The Water Gardens of Carsac — Attraction in Sarlat-la-Canéda

I've never been so close to beautiful water flowers like Lotus, exotic and tropical water lilies. Recommended for photographers to finally reach that flower really close in the middle of a pond.

Being locals, we have visited this garden several times. Watching the business grow and develop into the utterly amazing place that it is now has been wonderful.

The lillies are amazing, the bridges are lovely and the secret bamboo rooms are cool...
