Rendez-vous aux Jardins (Meetings in the Gardens) invites you to wander green havens in Paris, France—and thousands more across the country—each first weekend of June, celebrating garden heritage and the people who shape it. Many public parks and usually-closed private gardens open their gates for guided walks, behind-the-scenes tours, and hands-on workshops (pruning, planting, botanical storytelling), often led by gardeners, botanists, and landscapers. Expect bonus delights like music in the gardens, art pop-ups, and kid-friendly discovery trails.
