Jardins du Château de Hautefort

15 km from the A89 motorway (exit 17), built on a rocky spur surrounded by a village, the Château de Hautefort reflects the rank and power of the Marquis of Hautefort. Its French garden and English park contribute to its reputation in the Périgord Noir. During your visit, enjoy the view of the boxwood gardens from the castle’s circular walkway.
Punctuated by pruned shrubs and paths featuring plant sculptures, the flowerbeds of this formal garden, which opens onto a hilly panorama, are enhanced with different colours every year. Take a walk in the English-style park, created in the 19th century by the Count of Choulot, one of the greatest landscape designers of the time. Every year in June, “rendez-vous au jardin” is an opportunity to discover the gardens of the Château de Hautefort accompanied by the head gardener.
