This year, Rendez-vous aux Jardins has national theme: “Gardens in the face of climate change”.

Laureate in 2018 of the 2nd European prize for historic gardens by the EGHN network (“European Garden Heritage network”), the Gardens of La Ballue offer you a unique universe of scenery thanks to its playful and labyrinthine course, a real succession of games shadows and light, which also has a special appeal for all children.

A specific brochure is dedicated to them. This booklet, both fun and educational, allows them to discover the gardens and their architecture,  botany, the environmental approach to their management.
