• Participatory workshop: Field of Colors, with the artist Fabienne Veverka

  As part of the exhibition "L’esprit des lieux, l’invitation à la paix", everyone is invited to a moment of sensitive creation in the heart of the grounds of the Jean Monnet House. Using paper, paint, and flexible stems, each participant will create an imaginary flower—unique, colorful, and expressive—to be planted freely in the garden. Little by little, as if by magic, a meadow will reappear... A discreet homage to the time when flowers carpeted Jean Monnet's garden, a field of peace that grows with each creation. A poetic workshop, halfway between childhood and dream, to bring bloom to a place full of promise.

• Guided tour through the history of the Jean Monnet House park

  The Paradeisos – European Gardens association offers a journey through time around the cottage, outbuildings, terraces, gardens, and wooded park, dating back to the time of Silvia and Jean Monnet. In this intimate and inspiring, yet not-so-ordinary setting, nestled in the natural setting of the Ile-de-France countryside and its characteristic rural setting, the association's work carried out in recent years will also be shared: "European Citizen Garden," participatory history workshops, and the recreation of the Jean Monnet House rose garden.
