Fête des Jardins: A Weekend of Nature in Paris

The Fête des Jardins transforms Paris into a city-wide celebration of urban nature, with free workshops, demonstrations, and activities for all ages. Visitors can meet city gardeners and arborists, learn about biodiversity, and explore pop-up villages filled with hands-on gardening tips and games.

The main village is set in the Parc de Choisy in the 13th arrondissement, while dozens of parks and squares across every arrondissement host their own events. From the square du Temple in Paris Centre to the parc Aretha Franklin in the 20th, each location offers a unique glimpse into the city's green spaces.

This weekend is a rare chance to discover private gardens usually closed to the public, chat with passionate horticulturists, and enjoy hundreds of free activities. The event also highlights the work of city gardeners and arborists, who share their daily routines and recruitment opportunities.
