The remarkable setting of the Hortillonnages becomes the creative ground for young landscape and traditional artists...

Spread over different plots located by the Clermont pond in Camon and Rivery, and on Île aux Fagots in Amiens, the International Garden Festival - Hortillonnages Amiens has around fifty productions to discover on foot or by boat.

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