A getaway that promises to delight nature lovers and inspiration-seekers alike.
Initiated by the French Ministry of Culture, the event is a veritable hymn to nature and biodiversity. This unique event offers an exceptional opportunity to discover or rediscover public and private gardens, usually closed to the public. It's a chance for young and old to reconnect with nature, share moments of conviviality and stroll through charming, poetic settings.
Nestled in the heart ofArgenteuil, the Jardin du Val des Oiseaux is a veritable jewel of greenery. Covering several hectares, the garden is an oasis of calm, punctuated by winding paths, flower beds and watering holes where birds come to quench their thirst. An idyllic escape, it awakens the senses and invites meditation and contemplation.
A place for encounters, discoveries and wonder, but also and above all an enchanting setting that showcases the richness and diversity of the region's horticultural and landscaping heritage. Every path, every corner of the garden is a spectacle for the eyes, a wonder for the soul. It's here that the charm works, where nature unfurls all its splendor, capturing the hearts of visitors.
So don't hesitate! Let yourself be carried away by the call of nature, by the allure of beauty. Come and discover the Jardin du Val des Oiseaux during the Rendez-vous aux Jardins! It's more than an invitation, it's an experience, an unforgettable journey into the world of plants!
The "jardiniers partageurs" invite you to discover the history of the Val des Oiseaux garden and its features, such as the "carré patrimonial" (heritage square), and to observe the various areas such as the pond, the henhouse with pedigree chickens, and the bird nesting boxes. For children, discover the garden in a playful way using their "five senses": smell and touch aromatic plants, admire garden flowers, listen to the sounds of birds... observe insects and our hens.
