Bon week-end ! – Jardin Public René Boylesve, Descartes

Jardin Public René Boylesve in Descartes – gazebo, winter trees, historic church backdrop.

A quiet garden invites the weekend to begin gently.

The Jardin Public René Boylesve in Descartes in Southern Touraine, is a charming public garden laid out on the site of a former medieval stronghold.

With winding paths, a pretty central gazebo, rare and exotic trees, a rose garden (including the "Descartes" rose), and views toward the old church and stone walls, it's a hidden (not to us!) gem for a stroll or bench pause. Named after the writer René Boylesve (who drew inspiration from this region), the garden offers that perfect mix of history and nature in a small, walkable town famous for its 'three Renés' (Descartes the philosopher, Boylesve the novelist, and composer René de Buxeuil).

A simple wish as the week ends, find a quiet corner like this, breathe in the fresh air, let the bare branches frame the sky and enjoy whatever the weekend brings.

Bon week-end à tous ! Have a wonderful weekend, everyone! 🌿🇫🇷
