Chédigny, Remarkable Garden
Let yourself be enchanted by the delicate scent of the roses of Chédigny, the only village to be awarded the Jardin Remarquable label by the Ministry of Culture. The pavements have given way to flowerbeds planted with over 1,000 rose bushes and 3,000 perennials. Don't deny yourself the pleasure, as the heart of this flower-filled village gives priority to pedestrians.

The Presbytery Garden
The village's former presbytery has recently been renovated and now allows visitors to extend their tour of the flower-filled streets with a visit to the priest's garden.
