This year, the Indigenous Peoples Garden unveils an all-new immersive experience. Light, landscape, sound and art come together in a journey inspired by the Circle of Life, celebrating the connections between all living beings and nature.
In the heart of the pine grove, the Japanese Garden is transformed by a monumental projection inspired by yūgen, a Japanese concept that invites you to contemplate the subtle beauty and the mystery of nature. Light, music and nature bring birds, fish and mountains to life throughout the landscape.
Explore the Chinese Garden through a creation inspired by the Shan Hai Jing (Classic of Mountains and Seas). Centred around Jianmu, the Tree of Life, this illuminated journey brings legendary creatures, mythical stories and luminous landscapes to life. A new multimedia projection enhances the experience with visuals and sound.
The Espace pour la vie Passport includes admission to Gardens of Light. Simply reserve a time slot before each visit.
