Every year, the Rendez-vous aux Jardins invites the public to discover parks and gardens, sometimes well known, sometimes more hidden, while highlighting the work of those who maintain, study, and bring them to life. A chance to discover the Bossuet Garden.
Created in the 17th century during the episcopate of Dominique Séguier, it belongs to the tradition of the French formal garden. This style is defined by a taste for orderly layouts, symmetry, perspective, and meticulous horticulture. The parterre, lined with boxwood and framed by a double row of lime trees now centuries old, forms a geometric composition that evokes a bishop’s mitre.
