On the very first weekend in July, Saturday July 1 and Sunday July 2, 2023, young and old alike are invited to the Jardin des Tuileries and the Studio du Louvre for two days of festivities andentertainment 100% free of charge and accessible to all. With Pulcinella, a commedia dell' arte character, and Polichinelle, his French cousin, you're invited to (re)discover the Jardin des Tuileries and the Studio du Louvre with your children.
