I visit a lot of gardens and this one stopped me in my tracks....it’s the first garden I have thought of having a soul. Three of us, a couple and my sister visited this garden ( Trip advisor didn’t allow for this category!) where the planting encouraged a slow thoughtful exploration, at each turn a new vista opened up and layered clipped shrubs held the views. Artifice there was, but the way this garden is presented is a very personal piece of work, the hand of an artist shows. We spent a few hours here not wanting to leave, there was fun too, with kittens rolling out from under leaves, Peacock babes being herded by mum and other wildlife I’ve forgotten...oh a mouse, too taken with everything. The garden settles warmly around the house and you just want to stay longer......I will next time, by going earlier!

Created in 1974 by Gilbert Cours -Darne, an eminent French botanist (he was awarded the Olivier de Serres prize, the highest distinction bestowed by the Academie d’Agriculture), the arboretum occupies 6 hectares and contains 700 different species of trees and shrubs. Situaded by the road to Saint-Jacques de Compostelle with a view of the St Pierre de La Romieu collegiale, the Coursiana Gardens offer you an enjoyable experience in a wholly beautiful environment. Veronique and Arnaud Delannoy, the owners of the arboretum, as a result of their painstaking work received the national Edouard d’Avdeew's prize, awarded by the Association des Parcs Botaniques de France. In 2001, a partnership has been conduced with Fleurance Nature to create a medicinal and aromatic plants garden, which opened in spring 2002.

A lovely garden, well worth a visit. There are views towards the collegiale and a good variety of plants and flowers to look at. It was fairly large so there was no feeling of crowding. Recommended.
