    • OPENING OF THE LITERARY SCULPTURE GARDEN AT BLIS ET BORN


      Staged on a 12,000 m2 site, a hundred or so sculptures displayed among wandering flowers illustrate the most beautiful quotations by writers and poets. Set in a remarkable green setting, a poetic vegetable garden, century-old oak trees and installations form the backdrop to this tour dedicated to French literature. The artists' guided tour of the garden is a privileged moment that opens up a universe and an imagination that provide an escape from everyday life.
      Le Jardin presents an aludibond photo exhibition entitled "Enquête d'humanité", retracing 40 years of reportage around the world from 1980 to 2020. Another series of macro-photographs shows a glimpse of the insects living in the garden thanks to the differentiated spaces.
      For this new season, five new installations have been added to the existing ones.

      Open from 1:30 pm to 7:30 pm
      Every Sunday and public holiday until September 17, 2023
      "La Parade Sauvage", a storytelling stroll on the life and work of Arthur Rimbaud, every Sunday at 4pm.

      The Garden is open for the "Rendez-vous aux Jardins" on June 3 and 4 and for the "Journées du Patrimoine" on September 16 and 17, 2023.

      Self-guided admission: €5.5 - Free for children under 10
      Admission with guided tour (from age 10): €6.5

      Dogs are welcome on a short leash during self-guided tours.

    From April 30 to September 17, the artist Jean-Claude Sadoine offers a narrated walk on the life and work of Arthur Rimbaud based on the sculptures he created. The place is magical and the visit fascinating. Combining erudition and theatricality, passion and pedagogy, humor and proximity, the life of Arthur Rimbaud is unfolded and illustrated by large declaimed extracts. A great and beautiful moment!

    What a discovery this garden is where, in the middle of the rich vegetation, the works of the artist who welcomes us are scattered! It's fascinating, poetic, interesting, bucolic, relaxing, informative... I highly recommend the narrated tours dedicated to Arthur Rimbaud, better than a literature course. Special mention for the welcome and availability of the hosts. This place is a good place to share

    Thank you for this beautiful moment. The route on Rimbaud is fascinating in addition to the other sculptures, and the corners set up for resting, discussing and contemplating are very harmonious. My 10 year old daughter really liked it and your quiz for children is a great idea. Thank you again for your welcome and this experience.
