Chapelle Expiatoire is once again taking part in the Rendez-vous aux Jardins 2023 event, with a guided tour of the chapel and garden on June 2, 3 and 4.

Rendez-vous aux jardins, a national event organized by the French Ministry of Culture and Communication to showcase the richness and diversity of our parks and gardens, is back from June 2 to 4, 2023. This unique opportunity for nature lovers to admire places often inaccessible to the general public attracts many curious visitors every year, who benefit from the biodiversity of the capital and Ile-de-France.

The Chapelle Expiatoire, located in the heart of Square Louis XVI in the 8th arrondissement, is not devoid of horticultural interest! Dating from 1816 and erected in memory of Louis XVI and Marie-Antoinette, the Chapelle Expiatoire occupies the site of a former garden that later became the Madeleine cemetery, itself closed in 1794 and transformed into a public garden. Although it contains many of the bodies of those who died during the Revolution, you can rest assured that it has retained its magnificent gardens!

The garden is a peaceful and charming place, with many plants and flowers, benches to sit and relax, as well as statues and fountains. It is often used as a place for local residents and tourists to stroll and relax.
