The park of Aymavilles Castle hosts the fourth edition of the Marché aux Fleurs a colourful floriculture and nursery market.

The event takes place in a beautifully flowered setting, in the presence of one of the most iconic castles in the Aosta Valley, where the dialogue between art, history and landscape care gives rise to an event of great interest.

In addition to the presence of leading regional and national exhibitors from the nursery sector, the programme also includes talks, cultural insights and workshops for children.

The event is further enhanced by theatrical guided tours in 18th‑century costumes, curated by the Historia Subalpina group from Turin, as well as the traditional guided visits to the castle, offering the opportunity to discover the stories and treasures preserved within its walls.

Guided visits can be booked on midaticket.it
