The Jardin d‘Acclimatation is once again taking part in Les Journées Particulières with a very special lineup of events.

In addition to free access to all attractions, the program during Les Journées Particulières offers a fantastic choice of activities and events. Seven villages will propose 75 different workshops for a behind the scenes look at the Jardin and a chance to learn about the jobs of the 300 people who work there. Merry-go-round operators, landscapers, veterinarians, beekeepers, puppeteers and others will share their passion for their métiers with visitors during fun workshops. A great chance to learn more about the fauna, flora and heritage of France’s oldest amusement park.
The “Village des Maisons” will feature eight LVMH Group Houses. Guerlain will introduce visitors to the art of perfumes, while Make Up For Ever and Benefit will present the work of makeup artists. Bulgari is hosting a creative drawing workshop, and participants can try their hand at journalism thanks to activities proposed by Radio Classique, Les Echos and Le Parisien. Beauty will also be in the spotlight at a Sephora Beauty Bar.
Music lovers are in for a treat as well with introduction to music workshops and outdoor concerts featuring the “Jazz Big Band of the 10th Arrondissement Conservatory”, “Petites Mains Symphoniques”, “L’Orchestre à l’École” and the “Orchestre du Grand Turc”.
