Nature and culture lovers, get ready for the return of Rendez-vous aux Jardins in Paris and the Île-de-France region. This event, orchestrated by the French Ministry of Culture, offers a unique immersion into the heart of green spaces, whether public or private, and features a multitude of activities for all to enjoy. This year's Rendez-vous aux Jardins will take place from May 31 to June 2, 2024. How about a botanical getaway at theHôtel Heidelbach?
Nestled in the heart of the 16th arrondissement, this 19th-century mansion is now part of the Musée Guimet, dedicated to Asian arts. For this one-of-a-kind event, this confidential site opens its doors to reveal an astonishing green setting. The garden is a recreation of a Japanese tea garden, designed as an invitation to travel. The atmosphere is serene, almost meditative. A true haven of peace, unsuspected by the capital.
The Hôtel Heidelbach and its garden welcome you with open arms for this latest edition of Rendez-vous aux jardins. It's a wonderful opportunity to discover an unusual setting of greenery and history in the capital. So, let yourself be charmed by this unusual stroll, between aesthetics and harmony, nature and culture. Make Paris your secret garden!
As part of the Rendez-vous aux jardins 2024 weekend, visitors will be able to admire some of the jewelry created by Haute joaillerie designer Anna Hu.
Passionate about the transmission of know-how and the training of future generations, Anna Hu took part this year in the Individual Creation Project for 3rd-year Bachelor Design Bijou students at the Haute École de Joaillerie. The designer worked with 13 student designers on the theme "The Four Gentlemen" (plum blossom, orchid, bamboo and chrysanthemum), inspired by the Musée Guimet's Chinese collections, notably on screens, furniture, porcelain and textiles. This research work will be exhibited at the Musée Guimet from June 1 to 3, 2024.
The exhibition of sketches and works of Haute joaillerie by Anna Hu will be accessible free of charge from Saturday June 1 to Monday June 3, 2024, outside the slots reserved for conferences and guided tours organized at the Hôtel d'Heidelbach.
Seasonal plants, trees and flowers play a major role in naming characters, describing nature and emotions, and enlivening the narrative of The Tale of Genji. The description of Heian-period gardens sheds light on the relationships forged between the protagonists in the various episodes of Murasaki Shikibu's novel.

The bright, open garden, created in 2018 by architects Agnès Latour-Kurashige and Jean-Sébastien Cluzel, is home to an authentic tea house (chashitsu), donated by Japan in 2001, designed by architect Nakamura Masao and built by the finest craftsmen from the Land of the Rising Sun. Its architecture is an ideal of peace and modesty, as well as an example of extreme refinement in the choice of the various woods used. Access to the tea pavilion is via a small pathway lined with stone steps, dwarf bamboo, moss, horsetail, ferns, cherry trees, a lantern and a basin, as a preamble to the rituals of the tea ceremony.
