Les Jardins de Sonja, a veritable botanical paradise in Perray-en-Yvelines, has been delighting lovers of beautiful gardens since 1980. Discover these sublime hidden gardens with multiple settings, designed by landscape designer, Sonja Gauron.
You like them beautiful gardens landscaped, both magical and unusual? Head to the Chevreuse Valley in Perray-en-Yvelines, near the Rambouillet Forest, to discover the Sonja Gardens. It is a real little paradise, imagined with respect for the environment and nature, which awaits you.
Initially composed of 3000 m² of old corn fields, the JSonja Gardens have been patiently shaped since 1980 by the landscaper Sonja Gauron. On site, this green setting in Perray-en-Yvelines, allows you to discover more 2000 different plants, which evolve and renew each year. It’s a four seasons garden, with captivating scents, which reveals itself to awaken your five senses. We discover the treasures of nature, in the respect of the environment, in perfect symbiosis with men.
The story of Sonja Gardens is a real human and horticultural adventure. Sonja had to overcome the challenges of clay soil, high winds, soil impermeability and plant diseases, without resorting to chemical treatments. The systematic mulching of the beds, the improvement of the consistency of the earth and the installation of a drainage system have enabled this garden to achieve unparalleled diversity and beauty today.
Among the riches of the garden, we discover:
- a collection of old roses,
- beautiful clematis,
- rhododendrons and azaleas,
- colorful hydrangeas,
- fragrant viburnums,
- Japanese maples (Acer palmatum),
- and many other decorative foliage plants.
These are all ecosystems that offer everyone, amateur or expert, an incomparable sensory and emotional experience.

- The Asian garden with its pagoda,
- water gardens,
- The garden of the 4 elements,
- The grass garden with its mineral space,
- The scent walk,

- The herb garden and its boxwood embroidery,
- The medieval garden.
Check the opening date calendar to schedule your visit, and do not hesitate to request a guided tour at Sonja Gauron, the owner and soul of these places. We invite you to immerse yourself in this extraordinary place and let your senses awaken to the rhythm of the seasons. One thing is certain, a visit to Sonia’s Garden is an experience you won’t forget.
