On the weekend of June 1 and 2, 2024, the Rendez-vous aux Jardins are back! An opportunity to (re)discover the exceptional gardens of Paris and the Île-de-France region, with family, friends or on your own.

Rendez-vous aux Jardins is, as its name suggests, the annual event for nature and garden lovers at the beginning of June. Held on the first weekend of June each year, it's an invitation to discover extraordinary green spaces throughout the Île-de-France region (and indeed, all of France).

From historic parks to more contemporary gardens, botanical gardens and private estates, Rendez-vous aux Jardins offers you the chance to explore the green nuggets of our territory, with family, friends or on your own... Guided tours, creative workshops and fun activities are on offer for all ages, from the very young to the very old!

In Essonne, we're off to the Domaine de Chamarande, a veritable jewel less than an hour from Paris, which is sure to fill you with wonder. With its beautiful French gardens, ponds, sculptures and wooded paths, this historic estate has everything you need for a day in the great outdoors.

The eighteenth-century château is an architectural masterpiece that today hosts contemporary art exhibitions every year, as well as concerts, shows and cultural events. Why not visit the Domaine de Chamarande for the Rendez-vous aux Jardins?

    Cosmic vibrations

    Cie Atmen

    Choreography by Françoise Tartinville

    "Vibrations cosmiques highlights the invisible links that unite us, from the infinitely small to the infinitely large. The magnetic vibrations emanating from our bodies are transmitted from one to another without our even being aware of it. They convey emotions, sensations and moods which, as they spread, create bonds and form groups. Movements are transmitted by vibrations from body to body, from individual to individual, from group to group; they are transformed, mutated and in turn transmitted to other people, creating new synergies. The dancers from Compagnie Atmen will create this piece with and for amateur dancers from the Essonne region, exploring the waves and vibrations that imperceptibly link our movements and connect us to the living. Théâtre Brétigny Running time: 60 minutes All audiences Free, no reservation required - in partnership with Théâtre Brétigny
