Laroque’s Exotic Charm

The village, facing due south, enjoys a remarkable microclimate and, thanks to one of its residents, Mr Dorin, who was the driving force behind the project, a garden of Mediterranean and tropical plants has flourished along the narrow streets. Palm trees, banana trees, date palms, albizia, yuccas, bamboo and oleanders… all thrive under the Périgord sun.
