Ecole du breuil

About the venue

On Route de la Ferme in the Bois de Vincennes (12th arrondissement), the École Du Breuil was founded in 1867 by an order of Prefect Haussmann as a school of horticulture and arboriculture, to supply gardeners to the Seine département and Paris. It bears the name of its first director. First based in Saint-Mandé, it was moved to the site of the former Faisanderie farm when the 1931 colonial exhibition took some of its land. Its garden has been open to the public every day all year round since summer 2013, and the school fête is usually held in May.
