Manor d'Eyrignac Gardens, Botanical garden in Salignac-Eyvigues, France.

The Manor d'Eyrignac Gardens span 10 hectares with sculpted plants, featuring seven distinct areas that showcase French horticultural techniques and plant arrangements.

The 17th-century estate underwent a major transformation in the 1960s when owner Giles Sermadiras de Cuzols de Lile redesigned the gardens with topiary elements.

The gardens combine French and Italian Renaissance design principles, incorporating geometric patterns, symmetrical layouts, and carefully maintained plant sculptures.

Visitors can access the gardens daily from 10:30 AM to 12:30 PM and 2:30 PM to 6 PM, with guided tours available in multiple languages.

Seven natural springs supply water to the hilltop gardens, supporting diverse plant species including yews, box trees, hornbeams, and cypresses.
