Sainte-Terre : hometown of the lamprey!

This large botanical garden, freely accessible, houses several hundreds of waterbank plants, planted alongside a pebbled path which reminds the curve of the Dordogne river.

Once in Sainte-Terre, you'll also have the opportunity to discover its emblematic creaturel: the lamprey. Aquatic animal of almost 450 million years old: it won't leave you indifferent!

No lamprey is currently visible in the Lamprey Garden.

VISIT
