An immersion in Perrault's fairy tales inside this castle for the Rendez-Vous aux Jardins 2026.

Every year, Rendez-vous aux Jardins offers a chance to discover or rediscover the magnificent heritage of French gardens. For this new edition, pencil in the afternoons of June 5–7, 2026! On this occasion, the Château de Breteuil joins the celebration and will host a day of activities to entertain visitors of all ages.

If you still don’t know the Château de Breteuil, tucked away in the Yvelines, now is the perfect moment to take the plunge; and the Rendez-vous aux Jardins 2026 seems to be the ideal event for that!

This historic site, designated as a Monument Historique, is set on a 75-hectare estate overlooking the Chevreuse Valley. Spacious and idyllic, it is bordered by a French formal garden, a labyrinth, and a romantic park. For decades, the château has also been home to wax figures from the Grévin Museum, depicting key moments in French history or scenes from Perrault's fairy tales.

So, are we about to explore what awaits us at the castle and its stunning gardens?
