The Château de Fontainebleau, a historic royal residence in Seine-et-Marne (77), will participate in the 2026 edition of Rendez-vous aux Jardins, an annual event organized by the French Ministry of Culture. Scheduled for early June, the event offers visitors an expanded program (XXL) within the palace's extensive gardens, which include the Jardin de Diane, the Jardin Anglais, and the Grand Parterre.
According to the official Château de Fontainebleau website, the 2026 program features guided tours, workshops for children, and musical performances, all highlighting the botanical heritage and history of the gardens. The theme for 2026 has not been officially announced as of June 6, 2026, but past editions have focused on topics like biodiversity and garden design.
Visitors can explore the 130-hectare park, which includes the famous carp pond and the canal created under Henry IV. The event is free for the gardens, with some activities requiring reservation. The Château de Fontainebleau is a UNESCO World Heritage site, attracting over 400,000 visitors annually.
