Events at saveilles

On the occasion of the "Rendez-vous aux Jardins" days, the château de Saveilles opens to the public and offers a guided tour by the owner, allowing you to discover seven centuries of history, the exteriors of the château and its chapel, seen from the park or from the path along the moat.

This is the 20th edition of the Rendez-vous aux jardins organised by the Ministry of Culture, in collaboration with the Centre des Monuments Nationaux, the Comité des Parcs et Jardins de France, the Vieilles Maisons Françaises, the Demeure Historique, the Villes et Pays d'art et d'histoire and the CAUE (Councils for architecture, town planning and the environment).

 On Saturday 3 and Sunday 4 June, more than 2,200 parks and gardens will open their doors, sometimes exceptionally, throughout France.

As a preview, from Friday 2 June, schoolchildren will be expected in the gardens, where workshops, story readings and other fun and educational activities will enable them to share exceptional moments and memorable experiences with the owners and gardeners.

Rendez-vous aux jardins is an event that aims to highlight the richness and variety of parks and gardens, both historic and contemporary, and the preservation of cultivated nature throughout the country.

It is an opportunity to raise visitors' awareness of the many actions implemented by the Ministry of Culture, local authorities and private and public owners to conserve, restore and create gardens and pass on knowledge and know-how.

At the European level, nearly twenty other European countries, including Germany, Andorra, Belgium, Croatia, Spain, Italy, Lithuania, Luxembourg, Monaco, Portugal, Romania and Switzerland, will be taking part in this event for the fifth year.
