The Sothys Gardens, botanical and contemporean gardens at Auriac, between Cantal and the Gorges de la Dordogne, inspire our cosmetic know-how.
An ensemble of intimist closed gardens with a variety of atmospheres invite for a sensual escape, blending beauty and culture. Stroll through our escpades that are inspired by the world of cosmetics and esthetics: white, Egyptian, hydrating, perfume, skin, sun, velvet, and the last one to date, the escapade of the roses. And afterwards, let your mind wander in the stretch of wilderness that offers the wet meadow.
