A family weekend in the middle of nature under the sign of the five senses
This year, it is our five senses that will be awakened to celebrate the21st edition of the Rendez-vous aux jardins
On the program : workshops and visits accompanied by professionals: gardeners, tour guides and even historians, all passionate and in love with gardens!
During the walk, they will tell us about their observations, their experiences and emotions in contact with this beautiful nature in effervescence thanks to the rain that has fallen
And to transport us further back in history and awaken our imagination, we will listen to them talk about the evolution of parks and gardens, tastes, colours and smells!
The Rendez-vous aux jardins give back its rightful place to walking and wonder.
It’s an ideal moment to share with children away from screens and in contact with simple and beautiful things
