This is a beautiful place, at Temple sur Lot.
It propagates and sells water lilies.
In 1889, the famous Impressionaist painter Claude Monet saw these lillies on show in Paris. It was a coup de coeur.
He ordered lillies from Latour-Marliac to put into his water garden at Giverny.
These lillies featured in a series of famous paintings Nympheas.
