Just outside the scenic village of Saint-Céneri-le-Gérei, one of the most beautiful villages in France, this idiosyncratic garden is the brain child of Michèle and Philippe Manson. Laid out as a series of rooms (the moon garden, the calm garden, the nuttery, the garden of contrasts and a further nine areas) your senses and moods are gently uplifted by the careful planting and loving attention of the garden's owners. There is a chichi gift shop and a place to take tea or coffee once you've finished soaking up the sights and scents.
The garden hosts events throughout the year, and is particularly renowned for its evening music concerts and candle-lit walks.
