The Rectory Garden

The Rectory Garden

Behind the church lies a little green oasis where life is good. In summer, a festive atmosphere takes hold with the gourmet market. Like a weekly get-together, the garden is transformed, lending the village a village-fair feel. Locals and tourists gather round the stalls to enjoya convivial time accompanied by background music. It’s a place that appeals to all generations; people meet up with family or friends for a drink whilst the children play and dance around the tables.

During the day, it’s a peaceful spot where you can read a book or enjoy a quiet picnic. What’s more, this is where one of the artworks from the Terra Médoca art trail is hidden away
