The Rendez-Vous aux Jardins is the perfect way to get out into the countryside and enjoy a program of cultural visits. This annual event, which takes place in the spring when the weather is fine, invites you to discover our heritage from a very special angle: that of parks and gardens. For the occasion, green spaces, both private and public, invite us to discover their secrets through a variety of programs. On the menu: visits, often free of charge, workshops and events designed for young and old, as well as exceptional openings of sites usually closed to the public. All in all, an original way to discover our botanical heritage.
