- 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 storytelling walk on the life and work of Arthur Rimbaud from the sculptures he made. 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!

Magical place. Everything comes together for enchantment: the sculptures first, of course: imposing or ethereal, elegant or humorous. The inspiration is varied enough to please everyone. The setting then, a magnificent park where room is left for diversity: lawns and wild plots, groves and undergrowth. A pure marvel. You can also leave with a "sample" of the talents of Jean-Claude who, in his exhibition space, exhibits and sells his metal sculptures at very reasonable prices. A very nice experience with a warm, simple and enlightened welcome. THANKS.

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, instructive... I highly recommend the storytelling tours dedicated to Arthur Rimbaud, better than a literature course. Special mention for the welcome and the availability of the hosts. This place is a good place to share
