The Water Gardens of Carsac, Botanical garden in Carsac-Aillac, France
The Water Gardens extend across 4.5 hectares of land above the Dordogne River, featuring numerous ponds filled with water lilies and aquatic plants.
The gardens were established in the late twentieth century as part of a movement to create specialized botanical spaces dedicated to water-based plant species.
The garden maintains 80 different species of lotus and water lilies, representing the French tradition of systematic botanical collection and classification.
Visitors can explore the gardens between May and September from 10:00 to 19:00, with dedicated parking areas and walking paths throughout the grounds.
The garden's location on elevated terrain above the Dordogne River creates specific microclimates that support both Mediterranean and temperate water plants.
