Château de Marqueyssac

The Château de Marqueyssac (French pronunciation: [ʃato d(ə) maʁkesak]), known simply as Marqueyssac, is a 17th-century château with notable gardens located at Vézac, in the Dordogne department in France. The château was built at the end of the 17th century by Bertrand Vernet de Marqueyssac, Counsellor to King Louis XIV, on cliffs overlooking the Dordogne Valley. The original jardin à la française was attributed to a pupil of André Le Nôtre, and featured terraces, alleys, and a kitchen garden surrounding the château.
