Rendez-vous aux Jardins 2025 at the Favières Japanese garden in Seine-et-Marne

The Rendez-vous aux jardins, the event that brings to light and opens the doors to the most beautiful gardens all over France, awaits us from June 6 to 8, 2025. On this occasion, we invite you to discover the Japanese garden at Favières in Seine-et-Marne, a hidden garden on the edge of a forest that should make you feel zen.

Do you love gardens, and Japanese gardens in particular? Then you're in luck, because we've got a great free offer for you. For this year's Rendez-vous aux jardins, the Jardin de Favières, which is open to visitors by appointment only, opens its doors to you for this 2025 edition.

The Jardins Japonais de Favières, nestled in the Seine-et-Marne region of France, unveils a vast 7,000 m² cultural and ecological space. Discover this peaceful sanctuary, a reflection of Japanese art and tradition. These gardens, constantly evolving, offer nooks and crannies conducive to serenity and contemplation.

The park consists of five distinct Japanese gardens, each an ode to tranquility and strolling. These gardens, still in the process of being transformed, continue to amaze us.

Created by Sandrine Milic, a landscape gardener with a twenty-year passion for the art of Japanese gardens, these gardens are deeply rooted in Japanese tradition. They offer a diversified sensory experience that changes with the seasons, the blooms and the itineraries. From the spectacle of azaleas in spring to the flamboyant maples as winter approaches, the gardens reveal themselves through the different seasons, including rain, which accentuates the hue of the grey stones, as Sandrine suggests.

During your visit, you can discover :

A strolling garden designed for peaceful wandering,
A garden gallery where every step reveals a poetic scene,
A tea garden inspired by the rites of traditional Japanese ceremonies,
A dry garden illustrating the delicate balance between transient and enduring elements,
A meditation garden offering a moment of complete serenity.

These gardens, richly planted with various maples, pines, phlox and other species, evolve harmoniously. More than just a place to relax, the Jardins Japonais de Favières is also a center for cultural exchange, with areas dedicated to exhibitions.
