Water gardens of Moulin des Vernes - dog-friendly, France

Description

Anyone with the tiniest interest in aquatics will find something to love in this extraordinary 'water garden' - where you can wander around the lake on stylised walkways. It feels as if you're actually inside a Monet painting, with fabulous waterlilies all around.

The creation of the gardens has been a labour of love for Francis Deschamps, who opened them to the public in 2005 after years of work.  Fortunately, as well as being a master of all things aquatic he's also a dog owner so dogs on leads are welcome.
