Courtyard and Garden Festival 2010
From June 25 to September 19
The Hôtel-Dieu, the Collegiate Basilica Notre-Dame, the ducal palace… Beaune abounds with architectural beauties! But behind these edifices, the town conceals real treasures spread around its narrow alleys. From June 25 to September 19 2010, the sixth edition of the Courtyard and Garden Festival will open the gates of these places, often unknown by the public. It is through a new route in surprising and unusual sites that another image of the town will reveal itself: the one of “Beaune unusual”. Every year, you are able to admire, in the Square des Lions, the ephemeral gardens realized by landscaping schools from all over France.
This festival will also be the occasion to visit the Beffroi, the town’s emblematic monument, inaccessible for several years. There, you will discover the strange atmosphere of a cabinet of curiosities through the years; also to be seen: an exhibition to penetrate the fascinating universe of “time measurement”. At the Fine arts museum, an exhibition will be articulated around surrealism and modern art, through the works of the surrealist poet from Beaune, Xavier Léger and the works of the burgundian sculptor Michel Couqueberg.
Finally numerous animations, concerts and shows will be organized to delight children and adults.
