The Children’s Philharmonic … Music at a child’s level
The Children’s Philharmonic is a space for children, dedicated to music. Accompanied by their parents, grandparents or teachers, children will have fun, listen, understand, feel, discover and make music. A colorful and peppy place to develop the imagination and learn to smell sounds.

Among the 5 universes dotted with 30 installations proposed, we tested:
- A huge world map to discover and hear music from all over the world. It is the cultural and musical heritage of the 5 continents that is available to all. You put on headphones, choose the continent, press a button to listen to and discover other people’s music…
- a recording studio, with real instruments to create your track
- We also play at reproducing the gestures of an orchestra conductor in front of imaginary musicians in a concert hall
- we jump on a ball… and the musical notes appear as if by magic
- saucepan, whisk, brush… It’s the “cookware” workshop to emit funny sounds (in a yellow room)
- Children’s nursery rhymes revisited with “salsa”, “hard-rock” or “opera” sauce… We put on a funny headset in the red room and listen to “Frères Jacques” or “Ah, I’ll tell you mom”
Flop is back at the Philharmonie des Enfants (temporary animation)
- Temporary animation included in the price of the ticket for the Children’s Philharmonic, discover from September 21 to November 3, 2024
- Flop, the hero of the children’s book for children aged 3 to 8, takes over the children’s Philharmonic’s play area
- The collective “Les Chats Pelés”, author of the album Flop published in the children’s collection of Éditions de la Philharmonie, exhibits originals from the album as well as about fifty works (volumes, paintings…) in an entirely dedicated space
