Guided storytelling tours with artist Renaud Robin to coincide with his exhibition in the abbey “La Fukaï, une fable naturaliste” (The Fukaï, a naturalist fable)

A mischievous moment in which this woodcarver and storyteller magically lets us into his playful and scientific para-natural world, which originated in the meanders of the Aveyron forest.

Chantefleurs concert

19h
Baritone and cellist Pierre-François Lamiraud and romantic guitarist Loïc Reboul put gardens into words and music.

An intoxicating mix of fragrance and poetry, a vibrant ode to the flowering world.
