The Garden Rendez-vous return from June 5 to 7, 2026. Explore some of the most beautiful gardens across France, with a special focus on Paris and Île-de-France. During this event, some sites—sometimes hidden, little-known, or secret—are opened up to visitors, offering a unique chance to discover their charm.

Attention garden enthusiasts! From June 5 to 7, 2026, the Rendez-vous aux Jardins festival returns for its annual edition, traditionally held at the beginning of June. This event is the perfect opportunity (or the perfect excuse) to enjoy a day outdoors, and more importantly, to explore the most beautiful, secret, or unexpected treasures hidden within the gardens of Paris and Île-de-France.

Exceptional estates, remarkable gardens, historic monuments or small private gardens: you'll see it all (in terms of flowers), get lost in the perfectly trimmed paths or experience an immersion in gardens from all over the world, without even leaving the Paris region!

The Rendez-vous aux Jardins is a chance to discover gardens that are not open at all during the rest of the year, or only on certain dates: it's time to explore these natural settings, sometimes public, often private, that garden enthusiasts have tended for years, even decades. Hidden, secret, little-known or even unknown to the general public: here's our selection of the most discreet green spaces at the Rendez-vous aux Jardins 2024, not to be missed!

The most secret, hidden, or lesser-known gardens of the 2026 Garden Rendezvous:
