Take advantage of the Spring of Sculpture to uncover all the secrets of the intriguing Tower of Figures, set within the park on Île Saint-Germain. This free event runs from March 21 to 29, 2026.

Since 2019, the Hauts-de-Seine department has been keen to promote its artistic heritage, and more specifically to introduce the general public to the many statues and sculptures that adorn the parks, museums and places of interest in the 92 region. To this end, the department has created the Printemps de la Sculpture, a free cultural event open to all.

Every year, as the warmer weather returns, 22 partner institutions in the Hauts-de-Seine region open their doors to the public, offering a variety of activities centered around sculpture. Visitors can enjoy bike rides, workshops, guided tours, exhibitions, and performances — a rich schedule of events designed to engage art lovers of all ages.

Jean Dubuffet's Tour aux figures, installed in the park on Ile Saint-Germain, also takes part in this artistic event. This very special tower is bound to catch the eye of walkers, so unusual and original is it. Why not take a look at this must-see installation, just a stone's throw from Paris?

From March 21 to 29, 2026, the Tour aux Figures offers a special, free program tailored for families and curious visitors. Be sure to reserve your spot quickly (reservations are mandatory) and embark on an exciting journey to discover this one-of-a-kind masterpiece!
