Rendez-vous aux jardins is the perfect opportunity to discover magnificent gardens, breathtaking parks and sumptuous green spaces, each more beautiful than the last. A not-to-be-missed event for all lovers of nature, art and history, taking place between May 31 and June 2, 2024 in Paris and the Ile-de-France region. On the program: guided tours, cultural activities and outdoor entertainment!
The garden at the Musée Eugène Delacroix, which you discover after passing through the painter's last home, is one of the museum's most important features, alongside the rooms in the apartment and studio. Indeed, the painter had chosen his apartment on rue Fürstenberg for this "small garden which he could enjoy exclusively, with the possibility of building a studio there"!
Although we know that Delacroix had "restored the soil, pruned and trimmed the existing beds and vines, created flower beds lined with thyme and planted a large number of various rose bushes, redcurrants, raspberry bushes and several trees" thanks to a rediscovered invoice, the garden has since been renovated. Pierre Bonnaure, head gardener at the Tuileries, was able to renovate the garden in 2012 to give it shimmering colors by planting generous blooming flowers, as close as possible to Eugène Delacroix's tastes, thanks to the painter's writings.
The museum invites you to visit Eugène Delacroix's garden on the theme of "the five senses in the garden".
