Paris Rooftop days, or how to experience the rooftops of Paris for a weekend
During these two days dedicated to the roof terraces of Paris, many cultural and sporting activities are offered: visits to green roofs and photovoltaic roofs, urban agriculture and workshops accessible to young and old alike, but also rooftop bars, outdoor sports, artistic performances, panoramic tours of the most beautiful views of Paris!
We like
- An exceptional and unique event to do with the family
- Activities to awaken to nature and urban ecology accessible to 3-6 year olds, 6-12 year olds
- Discovering that the rooftops of Paris are home to vegetable gardens, sports, art!
- In the heart of Paris, it’s a complete change of scenery
- And we love to enter a “stroller friendly” place that is not very accessible the rest of the year!
Activities accessible to children, even the youngest
- Repotting cuttings
- Discovery and activities around plants: seeds, dried flowers and prints, walks and even harvests!
- And many other things to discover such as permaculture!
