Terrasson, a link! .

We had a trip out last week with daughter and son in law Charlotte & Dave to Les Jardins de l'Imaginaire, a place we'd heard about from our customers but as usual somewhere we'd never made time to visit, a large area with different areas of various themes of plants plus some very spectacular views, especially over the old town.
The above view had some information in the walk guide which caught my eye as there was a link between the Terrasson Abbey and Le Manoir des Granges. The Abbey, which sits magnificently on the cliff edge over looking the Vezere valley was restored "like new" by an architect monk who also restored the famous Abbey of Mont St Michel and here's the link, it was restored in 1889, exactly the same year that Le Manoir was built, I'm pretty sure there was no monk working on our property when it was built!
