Theme for 2026: The five senses in the garden – sight

‘Rendez-vous aux jardins’ is an opportunity to explore gardens – some of which are open to the public on an exceptional basis – and to take part in the activities on offer: educational workshops, demonstrations, exhibitions, musical walks, talks, performances, and more. Over the weekend, gardeners, owners, landscape architects, botanists and event organisers will be on hand to engage with visitors of all ages.

The Ministry of Culture will be collaborating, on an exceptional basis, with the association Valentin Haüy and the Comité des Parcs et Jardins de France to offer visually impaired and blind visitors the opportunity to experience the sensory dimension of gardens.
