Towering above Crempse valley, a few kilometres from Mussidan and the A89, Montréal is a château from the first Renaissance (1535), built on an old fortress. The 13th and 14th century gardens, designed in the early 20th century with input from of Achille Duchêne, a renowned landscape designer in the Belle Epoque are spread on the ramparts of Château Montréal, with some parts still remaining today.
Enclosed with walls covered in white and cream roses and white clematises, the lower, Italian-style, garden is dotted with topiaries. It contrasts with the upper, French-style, garden, where the flowerbeds and boxwood benches highlight the outline of the ramparts, with two terraces, one with roses, nepetas and blue sage, the other with red and yellow dahlias. Outside, Montréal park has a star-shaped arbour. Partly destroyed by the storm in 1999, it had been replanted for your walks.
