More than 2,000 public and private gardens unlock their gates to the public for one weekend as part of “Rendez-vous aux jardins”, a nationwide event celebrating the majesty and heritage of green spaces across France.

The annual celebration of “Gardens and their Creators”, which runs from Friday 31 May to Sunday 2nd June, sees parks and gardens put on a large variety of activities for visitors, including guided tours, workshops, exhibitions, children’s games, late evening openings hours, musical walks, poetry, performances, special lighting and film projections.
