Parc de La Villette
It is in this idyllic setting that La Villette’s diverse and ambitious cultural programming takes place. Exhibitions, dance, circus, theatre, and magic performances, along with workshops for children and adults all exemplify the park’s ambition to envision new ways of sharing and interacting with each other.
A model of humanist architecture, the Parc de la Villette sits on 55 hectares in the northern part of Paris. Its meadows, gardens, and buildings signal its vocation of welcoming the practices of many different publics, be they cultural, educational, or athletic.
Around Fifteen Garden
First and foremost, it is a place where everyone is free to enjoy the meadows and gardens. There is plenty of room for people to play sports, for which the park provides specific facilities. Paris’ largest park is also a place for people to commune with nature within the confines of the city.
Notable successes include the “Jardins Passagers”, which make the utopia of an ecological, experimental, and educational vegetable garden a reality, while the farm offers visitors the chance to find out more about the animals it houses.
