The Evêché gardens

The Evêché gardens spread over 5 hectares at the heart of the “Cité” quarter. The six terraces that compose them have been built on the slope of Puy Saint Etienne during the construction of a new Episcopal palace by the end of the 18th century. Bought by the city in 1910, this estate has been progressively modified. The walkers can discover a formal garden, a large botanical garden and an ecological space presenting the Limousin's natural environments. The terraces offer a remarkable view on the River Vienne banks.
