La Ville est Belle: the road safety festival at Place de la Bastille

After a stint at Châtelet last year, the Prévention Routière association is organizing the second edition of its "La Ville est Belle" festival on the Place de la Bastille, this Wednesday, May 28, 2025. From 3:30 pm to 9 pm, this festive and educational event, open to all free of charge, is designed to promote a better sharing of the road between all users: pedestrians, cyclists, motorists, scooters...

In addition to concerts and free events for adults and children, the association's volunteers are offering awareness-raising workshops to remind Parisians of the best practices to adopt in order to travel more calmly and safely in a city prone to tension on the roads.

To coincide with the festival, the results of a ground-breaking study will be unveiled, focusing on French people's favorite playlists in the car, to understand how music can positively influence the way we drive.
