On June 15, 2026, the Bouillon Blanc in Sensenruth hosts a conference dedicated to René Pechère (1908-2002), a major figure in Belgian landscape architecture. The afternoon continues with a meal, followed by a show entitled Il faut cultiver notre jardin (We must cultivate our garden), a nod to the famous line from Candide.

The setting is perfect: Sensenruth, a quiet little village in Gaume, is home to this place with its well-kept garden, conducive to reflection on the art of landscape design. The event is aimed at an audience curious about art history and plant architecture, in a friendly and accessible atmosphere. René Pechère notably designed the gardens of the Egmont Palace in Brussels and created works throughout Europe.

For travelers, Sensenruth is located a few kilometers from Bouillon, easily accessible by car. Plan for the afternoon and evening if you wish to enjoy the complete program. Remember to reserve your spot in advance, as this type of intimate event often sells out. A rare opportunity to discover a lesser-known aspect of Belgian heritage, in the heart of the Gaume countryside.
