Dance enthusiasts can try their hand at the barre on Louis-Philippe Bridge, in an improbable urban dance studio.
The Forney Library, a usually silent lair, will be the scene of a magic show, defying the laws of physics and common librarian sense.
For music lovers, the garden of Cognacq-Jay museum classical notes will resonate, while the duo Plok and Replonk-Bébert promise to make the walls of the Museum of Hunting and Nature tremble with laughter.
The Institute for Advanced Studies will examine the very concept of “surprise” in a reflection that promises to be as stimulating as it is unexpected.
For those looking to tickle their nostrils, the MAIF Social Club will offer a unique olfactory journey, proof that in the Marais, even the air we breathe can become a work of art.
The public is invited to stroll between monumental installations and improvised performances, with an obligatory detour via Sully Hotel for an immersive exhibition of artist Claire Tabouret.
À Hôtel de Ville, contemporary dance fans will be able to attend an open-air show that mixes urban and classical movements.
The House of Poetry, it will resonate with committed readings, with poets like Rim Battal and Stéphane Audeguy.
