The idea is simple: turn the site into a summer village accessible to visitors of all ages. Guests will discover a sandy beach, play areas, and a program of activities that is refreshed throughout the event. This year, the decor and part of the activities draw on the world of pirates, which acts as the thread running through the program.

Admission is free, but it is reserved for residents of Franconville. Prior registration is mandatory through the City’s Family Portal. Help sessions are also held at Espace Fontaines to assist anyone having trouble with the registration process.

The event welcomes children, adolescents and adults alike. A range of activities—from sports activities, workshops, games and entertainment—will be offered throughout the period. Local associations also participate in the programming, offering introductory sessions and demonstrations according to a calendar set by the municipality.
