Along the banks of the Canal de l'Ourcq, between Pantin and de la Villette, Jardin21 is the spot not to be missed this summer. DJ sets on Wednesdays, dance parties on Thursdays, children's workshops on Saturdays and Sundays... there's no doubt that everyone is welcome at Jardin 21: families with strollers, party-goers looking for a good bass, teenagers... Scheduled to reopen on April 5, 2024 for the new summer season!

Jardin21 returns to Paris on April 5, 2024, and celebrates its 7th anniversary with a grand re-opening party! Open from Wednesday to Sunday, this 1,600 m² plot, nestled in the Parc de la Villette and on the edge of Pantin, is a rejuvenating wasteland and a veritable vegetable garden, with fruit trees, aromatic plants, seasonal fruits and vegetables.

This summer of 2024, the canal de l'Ourcq vegetable garden has some surprises in store for you, with a truly artistic, cultural and festive program. On the program: workshops and meetings to learn about gardening and eco-responsible practices, acoustic concerts, markets for local producers and ethical designers, as well as sports, yoga and self-defense classes, creative workshops, a treasure hunt for children... In the evening, you can take advantage of electronic evenings hosted by local collectives, with a house and disco trend!

New this year is a brand-new 1,3000 m² guinguette area that will join Jardin21 from May, with a pizza foodtruck, a new bar area... This year, Jardin21 has teamed up with COP1, the association that fights against student poverty, to offer a Wednesday purchasing power evening one Wednesday a month. This summer also sees the return of stand-up comedy at Jardin21, with the return of the Greenwashing Comedy Club, a collective of comedians committed to the environment.

On the food front, Jardin 21 unveils a menu of meat, vegetarian and vegan dishes, with an emphasis on short distribution channels. What's on the menu? Planks of charcuterie and cheese to nibble on (from €11.90 to €19.90), hots dogs to eat on the go (€8 to €10 with fries), gourmet burgers (from €13.90 to €14.90) or healthier optionswith poke bowls and salads (€11.90). All from local producers, with Brie de Meaux melting into your cheeseburger, a brioche bun kneaded and baked in Paris, French meats and, above all, plenty of vegetarian options, all accompanied by homemade fries of course! Those with a sweet tooth will even be tempted by the desserts on offer: chocolate fondant, cheesecakes, ice creams, for a snack or to round off the meal.
