Le Jardin de la Rose

My favourite part of the day today was a walk around the narrow lanes of Ruffec ancient quarter. It was full of surprises including a beautiful rose garden with 350 varieties of roses, where we sat in the warm sunshine enjoying the tranquility. The old church had wonderfully detailed stone carving and a stunning stained glass window; and by the river we found an old wash house and water mill. I am hoping we can go back and explore it some more another day.
