The School for Gardeners
The Gardeners’ School was founded in 2012 following the retirement of market gardeners whose family had been in business for four generations, and driven by the desire of some of their former customers to keep the business going and protect the environment.
The Gardeners’ School is part of a comprehensive approach to sustainable development through training programs and activities aimed at promoting healthy and natural farming practices, as well as initiatives in the area of food solidarity.
Villa Douce
Built between 1929 and 1934 for notary André Douce, Villa Douce is an Art Deco mansion designed by Pol Gosset. Its brick façade and interior inspired by the ocean liner style make it a unique landmark in Reims’ cultural heritage.
Listed for its remarkable music salon, it now houses the University of Reims Champagne-Ardenne and opens its doors to the public on special occasions, such as the Relais du Goût.
Our partners
The experience is offered as part of the Triangle Marnais Regional Food Project by the City of Reims, Greater Reims, and the Montagne de Reims Regional Nature Park, in partnership with Reims Tourisme & Congrès. It also brings together local partners: the CROUS of Reims, the City of Reims’ School Fund, the City of Reims’ Social Action Center (CCAS), and the La Salle Agricultural High School in Thillois.
