Summer rhymes with the Lautaret garden!

Leisure and Cultural Activities
June 6, 2026 - June 7, 2026 Villar-d'Arène - Lautaret Garden
reopening of the Lautaret garden
The garden will open for the summer from Saturday, June 6, 2026, as part of the "Rendez-vous aux jardins" event organized by the Ministry of Culture. Will your summer also be synonymous with Lautaret?

That's it! Winter is over, spring is gently peeking its head out in the Hautes-Alpes, snow has fallen again recently, which will give the gardeners of the Lautaret garden a bit of a headache for the first maintenance work, but the summer opening is imminent and the blooms will then follow one another all summer long!

On Saturday, June 6, 2026, the Lautaret garden will reopen its doors for the Rendez-vous aux jardins event, this year with the theme "sight".

You'll be blown away by the sights at the Lautaret Garden! Whether it's the collection of flowers, the surrounding mountains, or all the scientific activities that take place there! Welcome to this exceptional garden, created in 1899 at the initiative of the University of Grenoble Alpes and joined by the CNRS in 2005.

3 guided tours per day, at 10:30, 14:30 and 16:00 from June 6 to September 6 inclusive, without interruption.
Many other one-off events throughout the summer can be found in our agenda.
We can't wait to see you again!!!
