Organized by the City of Saint-Ouen-sur-Seine, Lire dans l'herbe is a festival that pairs literature with environmental issues. The event takes place at the Serre Wangari, inside the Parc des Docks, a municipal facility devoted to nature and the ecological transition. Admission is free, and the festival welcomes both families and readers of all ages.
This 2026 edition runs from July 4 to July 25. Throughout the event, visitors can participate in meetings with authors, illustrators and environmental experts, attend discussions around their works and discover a selection of books devoted to biodiversity, gardening, climate and food.
The festival also features a number of participatory workshops. Kids can sit in on reading sessions, join creative activities, or take part in nature-themed activities. Adults can attend lectures, panel discussions, and forums focused on sustainable practices, environmental protection, and practical solutions to preserve biodiversity in daily life.
Booksellers, publishers and associations are on hand all day to showcase their publications and initiatives. This mix of voices gives the public a chance to see environmental issues from multiple perspectives through the book.
