The Rendez-Vous aux Jardins is the cultural event that invites us to go green. Over the course of a weekend, green spaces, parks and gardens, both private and public, open their doors wide to let us in on their secrets. A program of visits and events, often free of charge, awaits young and old, enthusiasts and the curious alike, giving us the opportunity to immerse ourselves in the heart of our botanical heritage. Unsurprisingly, Paris and the whole of theÎle-de-France region respond to the call, and in every corner of the region, green settings lend themselves to the game of Rendez-vous au Jardins. The next Rendez-vous au Jardins will take place from May 31 to June 2, 2024.
On the Yvelines side, the Château de Rambouillet is one of the region's historic treasures. This former royal residence, built between 1374 and 1474, has stood the test of time, in France as kingdom, empire and republic. Today, the château-museum welcomes history buffs and cultural enthusiasts with a tour that literally takes us back in time. Situated in the heart of a 980-hectare park in the Rambouillet forest, the estate also boasts beautiful gardens, offering both picturesque settings and sweeping vistas.
