23rd edition, the 6th & 7th of June 2026<\/strong><\/h3>\n

The gardens of Ch\u00e2teau de La Ballue open their gates to you for this\u00a023rd edition of Rendez-vous aux jardins<\/a>, with the national theme of \u201cTHE VIEW.\u201d<\/p>\n

Organized every first weekend in June by the Ministry of Culture, this Europe-wide event highlights the richness and variety of more than 2,800 parks and gardens.<\/p>\n

\"\"On this occasion, come discover the three gardens of Ch\u00e2teau de La Ballue and their clever use of perspective.<\/p>\n

After exploring the bocage through a window cut into the hornbeam grove, enter the labyrinthine garden with its opaque walls, where you can admire a magnificent play of light and shadow. Next, head to the Temple of Diana, a green temple designed after a model by Nicolas Ledoux that offers a dual view of the paths leading to the Ch\u00e2teau, with thuja trees on the right and linden trees on the left.<\/p>\n

In the Mannerist Baroque garden and the formal garden, you can admire the fabulous interplay of perspectives and vanishing lines conceived by architects Paul Maymont and Fran\u00e7ois-H\u00e9bert Stevens, as well as spectacular topiaries. Takethe opportunity to admire the breathtaking view these gardens offer of the Couesnon Valley, thanks to their early 17th-century layout and strategic location.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Continue by exploring the maze, which alters your overall perception of space by disrupting visual cues. Finally, extend your visit to the moat garden to discover our CCVS-certified boxwood collection, set amongst splendid roses and rhododendrons.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

To mark the occasion, a programme of events will be running throughout the gardens on Sunday, the 7th of June. A medieval costume ball with early music performed by the ensembles La M\u00e9nestraudie<\/strong> (medieval musicians and dancers) and La Rigourden<\/strong> (medieval dancers). The performers will present pieces both in concert settings and whilst wandering through the gardens. Free access with a garden ticket.<\/p>\n
