ROSES & PLANTS FESTIVAL 2026

Saturday, May 2 and Sunday, May 3, 2026

The Roseraie is a must-see of the Belle Époque for garden enthusiasts. Béatrice Ephrussi de Rothschild gave it a place of honor south of the Villa, making the Roseraie “the prow” of the ship she imagined for the gardens of the Villa Île-de-France, like a flowering spur between the Villefranche harbor and the Baie des Fourmis.

 

It is around this flower that, for a weekend, we revive Béatrice’s passion, both a devoted horticulturist and deeply in love with roses.

 

By welcoming horticulturists, rose growers, and nurserymen to share their passion with you and advise you among the finest of their creations, we also offer you:

- To discover the 9 gardens classified as “Remarkable Gardens” by the Ministry of Culture
- To enjoy an exhibition-sale in the French Garden as well as a program of activities for all audiences: children’s workshops led by the gardeners, and themed tours co-led by the head gardener and the collections department.

    Jewels of the Belle Époque, the Villa and its gardens transform for the occasion into a venue for concerts, performances, and exhibitions, offering an exceptional setting for exhibitors, craftsmen, and artists.

    A unique place where plants, the sea, and the light interact over the hours, seasons, and clouds.

     

    We hope to see you on May 2 and 3, 2026
    for an unforgettable weekend of discoveries and pleasures, between gardens and scents!

    Message from Muriel Mayette-Holtz

    "Béatrice de Rothschild designed around her dream villa one of the most beautiful gardens in the world. Thanks to the almost subtropical climate of Saint-Jean-Cap-Ferrat, she was able to bring together here the most beautiful and astonishing plants that nature has created across the globe. Queen of flowers and symbol of love, the rose holds a central place here. Thus, for the 15th Rose and Plant Festival, which will take place on May 2 and 3, 2026, we invite you to celebrate spring alongside the greatest producers of roses and other diverse plants, while enjoying numerous activities, renewed each year, to learn about and share knowledge of plants."
