The Printemps des Poètes is returning this year for its 28th edition, with the theme "Freedom". This follows previous themes such as Volcanic, Grace, Borders, Courage, Passion, and Beauty. The event features a wide range of artistic and cultural performances open to the public, taking place from March 9 to 31, 2026, across various libraries, media centers, and bookshops throughout the Île-de-France region.
This is a perfect opportunity for poetry enthusiasts and curious visitors alike to explore the rich diversity of contemporary poetry. It also offers a chance to examine this vibrant, fully expressive force of freedom—narrated through a storytelling approach that defies conventional ideas and stands against the elements that stifle or hinder movement, whether in society or within oneself. The patron of this edition is Isabelle Adjani.
On the program: reading, of course, but also writing workshops, poetry walks, film screenings, music and creativity in all its forms. All these performances are of course free of charge, and you can find out all about them on the event website! So, are you ready to add a little poetry to your life?
