For the Rendez-vous aux jardins, a national event organized by the Ministry of Culture and this year themed "sight", the gardens of Saint Andrew's Abbey offer a particularly suitable setting to take the time… to marvel!
Here, discovery comes as much from wandering as from looking: perspectives on the landscape and surrounding mountain ranges such as the Alpilles, Luberon, Ventoux, the Montmirail lace, unique view of the famous monuments of Avignon and Villeneuve lez Avignon and plays of light in the plants.
Un weekend To look up, slow down and rediscover gardens in a new way. Fancy taking a break and getting back to nature?
Take the time to explore a site steeped in history
The 2 hectares of gardens They offer a setting conducive to a stroll. The terraces invite you to stop and observe the landscapes, while the remains of the old abbey recall the history of the site and its uses over time.
In this type of place, the visit is not limited to a route: everyone can build their own path, alternate between walking and pausing, and linger where their gaze falls.
Observing differently: between botany and imagination
The visit also includes the exhibition " Gustave Fayet and his imaginary gardens ", dedicated to the artist's perspective on plants. Through her works, flowers take on free forms, between botanical inspiration and artistic interpretation. An approach that naturally extends the discovery of gardens and invites us to observe differently.

The exhibition can be explored gradually throughout the visit, before taking on a more visible form during the fashion show.
