Gardens of the Chartreuse du Colombier

Around a bucolic and refined Chartreuse dating from the 17th and 18th centuries, hunting lodges and field houses, the gardens of Colombier combine charm and surprises, rustic grace and formality to the delight of visitors, who discover enclosed spaces and gardens, Baroque pavilions, dovecots and alignments of a wide variety of species.

This ensemble of boxwood embroidery, parterres and scented bushes, and flowerbeds of old roses, peonies and bulbs, is organized with simplicity and elegance. A large Florentine-inspired ornamental kitchen garden, with pond, fountain, pavilions and espaliers, completes this ensemble, appreciated by connoisseurs and unique in Périgord.

Open to the public since spring 2014, the "Jardin Remarquable" label was awarded to the Chartreuse gardens by the Ministry of Culture in February 2015, with Colombier joining the 14 gardens in Périgord that have been awarded the label.
Over the past twenty years, the garden has been designed to respect the bucolic character of the site, highlighting views towards the surrounding woods, and sometimes emphasizing slopes, organizing "fullness and emptiness" with alignments or meshes of trees (lime trees, ash trees, plane trees, yews, Montpellier maples, mulberry trees...).

The gardens themselves are organized around two main axes, north/south and east/west, and are divided into five main areas covering around three hectares.
