There’s a lot to see for this year’s Paris Garden Festival, with repotting workshops, exhibitions, guideds tours… The theme is urban agriculture, and most places will be open from 2-7pm on the Saturday and 11am-7pm on the Sunday.

Amongst the gardens only open for this weekend, and not far from our hotels, there’s the convent garden of the Sisters of the Adoration, including a visit of the chapel, two secret gardens in the 6th arrondissement and two others in the 7th. All of these are only open on the Sunday.

For an abundance of activities (25 or so!), get down to the Garden Festival Village in the Parc de Bercy!There’s also a lot going on in the Bois de Vincennes and (a little less) in the Bois de Boulogne. Don’t miss it!
