Jardin Musée de Limeuil

The Jardin Musée de Limeuil is a two-hectare botanical garden with various themed sections located at the meeting point of two rivers. It contains areas for medicinal plants, water features, and insect observation, along with educational displays about local flora.

The site sits on former medieval fortress grounds that once controlled the strategic point where the Dordogne and Vézère rivers meet. This location made it a key traffic junction and defensive position in the region for centuries.

The garden features sections devoted to traditional plant knowledge, where visitors can watch local beekeepers and plant experts share their practices. These areas show how people in the region have long worked with plants and nature.

The garden is open daily from April through October, with extended hours during the summer months. Visitors can join guided tours and educational workshops, particularly when visiting in groups.

The garden includes specialized areas designed for sensory experiences, featuring boxes with different plant scents and spaces for nature-based meditation. These spaces let visitors experience plants through their senses beyond just looking.
