DORDOGNE - Tamniès

One of France’s ‘ville fleuri’, Tamniès is perhaps one of the most flowered villages I think I have ever seen! Even the town hall is covered, and the church has a little garden full of flowers at the front.



The village is absolutely miniscule, but every building is a tumbling mass of geraniums, ivy, mallow and roses to name but a few. I was seriously miffed that the sun was in the wrong place for the shot I really wanted, but luckily every way I turned was a pretty scene.


Below the village is the Etang de Tamniès lake where there were people taking a stroll or just sitting admiring the view. The only commerce I could find was a restaurant and a potter – I wonder where they do their shopping…
