During the summer (and even a little longer!), the Hortillonnages become a showcase for landscape, architectural and artistic works. Spread over several plots of land on the Etang de Clermont in Camon and Rivery, and on the Ile aux Fagots in Amiens, the Festival International Garden Festival - Hortillonnages Amiens offers around fifty productions to discover.

Stroll along the towpath or take a boat trip from the Camon embarkation pontoon and discover these sometimes mysterious but always surprising creations!

These works form a poetic journey that invites you to take a contemplative, amused, critical or curious look at the complex environment, history and future of these floating gardens.

The International Garden Festival is a life-size treasure hunt that will amaze young and old alike.
