🌿 Rendez-vous aux Jardins is an annual celebration of gardens and green spaces held across France and Europe. Organized by the French Ministry of Culture, the event invites the public to explore thousands of private and public gardens, many of which are rarely open to visitors.

The event highlights the cultural, historical, and environmental importance of gardens, offering a unique opportunity to connect with nature and heritage.
