What if your weekend plan for Rendez-Vous aux Jardins hides beside an old water wheel? From 5 to 7 June 2026, the event invites curious visitors to swing open the gates of parks, gardens and heritage sites across Paris and the Île-de-France region, under the theme of “the view”. And if you’re hunting for the region’s secret treasures, how about discovering the charm of the Moulin de la Naze, in Valmondois, just a stone’s throw from Mériel.
Set on the banks of the Sausseron, this spot feels like a Francilien postcard: water rushing by, a restored wheel that recalls the millers' craft, gears, pulleys, and that rural, poetic atmosphere that carries you far from the hustle of Paris. Once a water mill, now the Maison de la Meunerie, the site tells the story of the mills of the French Vexin, and also of the rituals surrounding grain, flour, and bread.
As part of Rendez-Vous aux Jardins 2026, a special program awaits in the park that surrounds this monument. It’s a smart two-for-one plan, letting you also visit the mill and the village of Valmondois!
