Rendez-vous aux Jardins 2024 at the Musée Guimet

The luminous garden of theHôtel d'Heidelbach, an annex of the Musée Guimet, was created in 2018 by architects Agnès Latour-Kurashige and Jean-Sébastien Cluzel. It houses an authentic chashitsu, a tea house donated by Japan in 2001, designed by architect Nakamura Masao and built by the finest craftsmen from the Land of the Rising Sun. Take advantage of the Rendez-vous aux Jardins 2024 to discover this little haven of peace in the heart of Paris!

Its architecture is an ideal of peace and modesty, as well as an example of refinement in the choice of the various woods used. Access to the tea pavilion is via a small pathway lined with stone steps, dwarf bamboo, moss, horsetail, ferns, cherry trees, a lantern and a basin, as a preamble to the rituals of the tea ceremony.

Every year, Rendez-vous aux Jardins opens the doors to the most beautiful gardens in Paris and France, with a program of activities for young and old alike. The Musée Guimet joins in the fun on June 1 and 2. Discover the program?
