The Théâtre de Verdure 2024Festival in the Bois de Boulogne offers us a great way to spend a summer with the whole family, discovering delightful shows for all ages.
The Théâtre de Verdure, nestled in the Pré Catelan garden, immerses visitors in the theatrical world of Shakespeare. The plays presented are inspired by his famous works such as "A Midsummer Night's Dream", "Tempest", "Macbeth" and "Hamlet". As you wander around, you'll discover themed gardens borrowed from the playwright's worlds, creating a unique, immersive environment.
From June 1 to September 22, 2024, the venue is transformed into a festival stage. Puppet shows, storytelling, fables, comedy, circus arts, readings... invite audiences to discover or rediscover plays by great poets and playwrights such as Molière, Jean de la Fontaine and Shakespeare.
With a wide range of shows to choose from, there's plenty to enjoy in this haven of peace and greenery in the 16th arrondissement. And enjoy the live entertainment we all miss so much.
