A cultural garden open to all at Porte d’Aubervilliers
la Parcelle is a cultural venue, where visitors of all ages are invited to discover a programme dedicated to the living arts, emerging creation, and the values of craftsmanship.
la Parcelle presents visual art installations, sound objects, and performances, concerts, creative workshops, and other artistic and cultural events on weekends. The public is invited to take part in gardening activities alongside the Vergers Urbains organisation, artists, and craftspeople. There are also a number of practical workshops on crafts and the natural world on offer, notably with Paris Ateliers.
Services and uses
Playing area
Young explorers can explore every nook and cranny of the play area, shoot down the slide, climb, and play freely in la Parcelle’s wooden huts.
The play area is open, free of charge, from 8.30am to 6pm on weekdays, and from 11am to 6pm on weekends.
The green house, the kitchen garden and the flower farm
All the plants on the plot have been carefully selected by the Vergers Urbains association, with particular attention paid to the diversity and harmony of the species.
The kitchen garden produces vegetables, fruit, and herbs. It is mainly used for educational purposes (workshops, visits, etc.), with a view to passing on knowledge and raising awareness of the natural world and of environmental issues.
Finally, the flower farm is a place to stroll around and a source of inspiration for the workshops of the artistic programme.
Partners
