During the Easter holidays, family-friendly cultural outings take center stage in Paris and Île-de-France. From April 3 to 19, 2027 for students in Zone C — which includes the Paris, Créteil, and Versailles academies — numerous theaters and cultural venues are staging performances tailored for young audiences.
Every spring, the shows for children in Paris have pride of place on family calendars. The holidays are the perfect opportunity to discover, with the youngest, plays that are accessible, funny, poetic or musical, whether in Parisian venues or across Île-de-France. Theater, puppetry, revised tales, musicals, or contemporary creations: the children's program proves especially varied during this season.
Shows to see with the whole family in Paris and the Ile-de-France region

Many theatres, from intimate venues to large family-friendly stages, tailor programming for children. Many of these holiday-season children’s shows are designed to be accessible to youngsters as young as 3 or 4, with shorter formats, visually polished worlds, and stories that are easy for a family audience to follow.
Some pièces de théâtre jeune public en Île-de-France are also performed in unlikely venues—think libraries, cultural centers, and other nearby spaces. This variety broadens the experience and makes it easier to find an outing that fits the kids’ age, the moment’s whim, and the family budget.
With the Spring Break 2027 scheduled in Zone C, families can enjoy a curated lineup of shows to laugh, dream, and share a moment together, in Paris as well as the Île-de-France departments.
