Along the banks of the Canal Saint-Martin, this park hides a little-known chapter: before it became one of the 10th arrondissement’s premier green spaces, this Parisian public garden stood on the site of a former military hospital.
From June 5 to 7, 2026, the Rendez-vous aux jardins event will invite nature lovers to rediscover Jardin Villemin – Mahsa Jîna Amini, in Paris. A charming occasion to enjoy a botanical escape by the banks of the Canal Saint-Martin.
For the 3rd year running, the Paris en Compagnie association is organizing a solidarity walk to combat the isolation of the elderly and support the work of the Petits Frères des Pauvres de Paris. How does it work? Sign up on your own or find an elderly friend or family member to take part in a 4km walk or 6km run along the Canal St Martin in Paris, and get some fresh air into your body and mind!
