Olonzac's municipal park



Olonzac has a fine municipal park with boules courts, tennis courts, a playground, swan ponds and
specimen trees. Once part of the grounds of one of the grand houses of the 19th century it was obtained by the town in lieu of taxes a hundred years ago. It is beautifully maintained by the Marie and has it's own greenhouse for seedlings.
Jardin de Charlotte is in the grounds of another, and larger, of Olonzac's grand houses. At one time there were ponds, fountains and an arboretum on this property too.
This week I'll post pictures of the grape harvest. If you enjoy the blog consider telling others about it and see more of this beautiful region of France
