The new edition of the L’Envers du décor at the Palais de la Porte Dorée offers you a weekend (February 4 to 6, 2022) of free entertainments. After an edition 2021 in lockdown, the L’Envers du Décor festival is back, stronger than ever. Installations, concerts, performances, shows… artists invited this year have gone all out for our greatest delight!

For this long February weekend, the Palais and the different areas come to life. The sea floods the Forum, lush vegetation grows here and there while a strange creature comes to life in the Aquarium… Great surprises expect us! Do not give more thoughts: for this special occasion, all the areas of the Palais, the museum and the aquarium are free of charge.
