For botanical enthusiasts, lovers of grand houses, and corners of Île-de-France that have kept their soul, the Maison-Atelier Daubigny in Auvers-sur-Oise could well be a stop to add to your Rendez-vous aux Jardins itinerary. The event this year unfolds over the weekend of June 5–7, 2026 and invites the public to discover parks and gardens, meet those who nurture them, and view plant heritage with a keener eye. The 2026 edition is especially themed around “The View”, a fitting coincidence for a site frequented by landscape painters.
A quick, practical note before you head out for a stroll: the Maison-Atelier Daubigny should not be confused with the Daubigny Museum, also in Auvers-sur-Oise and offering its own program. The museum is a municipal exhibition space dedicated to art and landscapes, while the Maison-Atelier is the former home of Charles-François Daubigny, a leading 19th-century landscape painter. Here you step into a living space, almost into the artist’s private world.
Built in 1861 by Charles-François Daubigny, the Maison-Atelier is regarded as the first artistic hotspot of Auvers-sur-Oise. Even before the village became linked with Van Gogh, Daubigny drew his fellow artists there, including Corot, Daumier, and Oudinot. The site preserves a rare feature: paintings painted directly on the walls of the house, spanning roughly 200 m².
Listed as a Historic Monument and designated a Maison des Illustres, the Maison-Atelier Daubigny also boasts a garden that will be in the spotlight for this rustic, countryside gathering! Find the program in more detail below!
A look at the garden and the works of Marc Feist, this year's guest artist.
As visitors wander through this garden, they can discover and linger over the works of Marc Feist, an artist who blends colors into harmonious compositions.
Marc Feist is a self-taught painter based in Éragny-sur-Oise, a member of the Academy of Arts, Sciences and Letters, and the Bronze Medalist in 2023.
He has been painting for more than 28 years, exclusively with a palette knife, creating intuitive, energetic acrylics that turn emotion into color.
His canvases have been shown at the Carrousel du Louvre, at Galerie Thuillier, and in numerous art fairs in France and abroad.
