About

  • English
    • More than a hundred staged sculptures illustrate the most beautiful quotes from writers.

      Located in a remarkable green setting, a poetic vegetable garden, centuries-old oak trees and installations form the backdrop for this 12,000 m² differentiated garden route.

      A series of stunning installations dedicated to Arthur Rimbaud retraces his life and work. His most beautiful poems (Ma Bohème, Le Bateau ivre, Le Dormeur du val, Les Poètes de sept ans…) but also the texts “Une saison en enfer” and “Illuminations” are transformed into sculptures and offered to the imagination of visitors.

      During the garden visit, a storytelling walk (approximately 1 hour) entitled " The Wild Parade " will be offered at 4 pm on Sundays July 26, August 2, 9, 16, and September 6. Jean-Claude Sadoine will lead visitors in the footsteps of Arthur Rimbaud, exploring the life and work of the adventurous poet.

      The Garden also features 2 photo exhibitions in aludibond, including a series of macro-photo prints (30x40 format) which showcases the insects that can be seen in the garden.

      Each year, new installations are added to the existing sculptures.

      A special moment where a universe opens up, allowing you to escape from everyday life.
