During this new edition, we (re)discover with pleasure some of the most important places of Ile-de-France, such as the gardens of the Albert Kahn museum, the Bernardin de Saint-Pierre house, the Jean Cocteau house or the Monte-Cristo castle. We also take advantage of the participation of several sites labeled " Heritage of Regional Interest ": the Moulin Jaune or the Axe Majeur. Remarkable gardens also await us, including the Potager du Roi and the Domaine de Méréville.

We note the arrival of new participants in this cultural event: go and visit the Campus of the transition in Forges, or the park of the castle of Rambouillet, which offers a botanical walk, from the Bergerie to the Dairy of Marie-Antoinette.

This year again, you can participate in the photo contest organized in partnership with the platform Wipplay. From June 1 to July 12, wander freely through the green spaces of Île-de-France, admire the composition, the plants, the works that populate these gardens, and capture images that reveal all their beauty. This year's theme: water! The best pictures will be exhibited during the closing weekend of Jardins ouverts, at the Zone Sensible - Ferme urbaine de Saint-Denis !

But before taking advantage of this event, we go and discover the Rendez-vous aux jardins, an event that also highlights the most beautiful green spaces of the region. Beautiful moments in the nature in perspective!
