Celebrate your child's birthday with music at the Children's Philharmonic

It's a well-known fact: if you live in Paris or the Ile-de-France region, unless you live in a large apartment (which we hope you do), it's always a hassle to organize children's birthdays: there's not enough room to let the little guests run around, and on top of that, you have to take care of all the organization. Then there's the solution of children's birthdays away from home, notably at the Philharmonie, which now offers its own formula every Wednesday, Saturday and Sunday, at 10.30 a.m. and 3 p.m.
