Terrasson is a town in the north of the Dordogne department to the west of Brive-la-Gaillarde.

Note: the 'real' name of the town is Terrasson-Lavilledieu, the two communes with those names having merged in 1963.

The town is dominated by the large church that stands on the hill at the top of the village, while the slowly moving Vézère River runs past the bottom of Terrasson. The river is traversed by two bridges: a 15th century old stone bridge called 'Vieux Pont' and the 19th century Pont Neuf.

Terrasson is also known for the blue slate roofs seen on many of the buildings, unusual in most of the Dordogne region.

The town itself is worthy of exploration, especially for the 'old bridge' and the abbey, and the attractive setting.

Terrasson Market day is Thursday.

Gardens of the Imagination

These stylish, contemporary gardens that overlook the town, and are renowned worldwide. Without doubt they are the main reason why people visit Terrason.

Covering six hectares of hillside overlooking the village, the 'jardins de l'Imaginaire' are a series of terraces that have numerous features where contemporary art and water features are successfully integrated in the environment. At little more than 10 years old the gardens at Terrason are already listed as one of France's official 'Jardins remarquables' ('remarkable gardens').
