This edition offers a unique opportunity to discover or rediscover the art of gardens that open their doors to share thousands of cultural and educational activities with demonstrations, concerts, shows, exhibitions, night openings, etc.
Here are some suggestions for listening… in the most diverse, remarkable gardens, animated by their owners, gardeners or the cities and countries of art and history mobilized.
