The 2024 Garden Meetings at the Japanese Garden of Favières in Seine-et-Marne

Do you like gardens and more specifically Japanese gardens ? So that’s good, because we have a good free plan for you. On the occasion of Meet at the gardensTHE Favières Gardenwhich is only open to visitors by appointment, opens its doors to you from May 31 to June 2, 2024.

THE Japanese Gardens of Favièresnestled in Seine et Marne, reveal a vast cultural and ecological space of 7,000 m². Set off to discover this peaceful sanctuary, a reflection of Japanese art and tradition. These gardens, constantly evolving, offer nooks and crannies conducive to serenity and contemplation.

This park consists of five Japanese gardens distinct, each an ode to tranquility and walking. These gardens, always in full transformation, continue to amaze us.

Created by Sandrine Milic, a landscaper who has been passionate about the art of Japanese gardens for twenty years, these gardens deeply respect the Japanese tradition. They offer a diverse sensory experience that varies with the seasons, blooms and routes. From the spectacle of azaleas in spring to flamboyant maples as winter approaches, the gardens reveal themselves in the different seasons, including in the rain which accentuates the color of the gray stones, as Sandrine suggests.

During your visit, you can discover:

• A strolling garden to stroll with serenity,
• A painting garden, where each step reveals a poetic scene,
• A tea garden, evoking the rituals of traditional Japanese ceremonies,
• A dry garden, which illustrates the play between the ephemeral and the permanent,
• And a meditation garden, for a moment of absolute calm.

These gardens, richly planted with various maples, pines, phlox and other species, evolve harmoniously. More than just a place to relax, the Japanese Gardens of Favières are also intended to be a center of cultural exchange, with spaces dedicated to exhibitions.
