Grandeur Nature 2025: the free festival with zip line, farm, horse-drawn carriage ... in Sartrouville (78)

Journée Grandeur Nature returns to Sartrouville this Sunday, June 15, 2025 with an edition entirely dedicated to gardens. Activities, workshops and bucolic strolls await you from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. between the Parc du Dispensaire and the banks of the Seine. A festive open-air escapade, free of charge and full of chlorophyll for the whole family!

Calling all lovers of nature, bucolic strolls and outdoor activities: after the Scènes en Seine festival at the end of May, Sartrouville(Yvelines-78) is getting its hands dirty again with the unmissable Journée Grandeur Nature, this Sunday, June 15, 2025. This year's event, dedicated entirely to gardens, promises a day full of surprises and entertainment.

From 10am to 6pm, the banks of the Seine and the Parc du Dispensaire are transformed into an eco-festive playground. Organized by the city with the support of local schools, associations and merchants, this free day is all about greenery... and creativity!

People come here to create, have fun and discover. On the program: creative workshops to make your own bamboo wind chime or paint a watercolour in the fresh air. Gardening tips will also be distilled to help you create your own zen corner at home.

And that's just for starters, because there's plenty of entertainment to keep you entertained! Tree-climbing, zip-lining, animal feeding, plant barter, escape game, participatory farm, hanging library, musical performances... the day promises to be as full of activities as a spring clump!
