Stretch out on the grass with a book and the afternoon sun, sinking into deckchairs and rugs as a gentle breeze carries pages and conversation. These open-air reading sessions turn a lawn into a relaxed communal reading room, with moments of shared silence, soft laughter and occasional activities like book picnics and children’s play sessions. Calm and accessible to all ages and fitness levels, the setting invites slow rhythms, easy company and a quiet reconnection with nature through reading.
Gather under shady trees for short, lively readings and quiet book browsing. Children listen to stories read aloud with expressive voices and gentle rhythms, see colorful scenes, and imagine characters moving and talking. Little ones can choose a single tale or stay for many, turning pages and whispering discoveries. The sounds of pages, birdsong, and soft laughter make reading feel like a calm outdoor adventure that sparks curiosity and language.
Every Thursday between 9 July and 13 August, from 10:00 to 12:00 at the Promenade du Pin!
In French. Kids ages 3 and up.

The troupe blends guided narration with short dramatic tableaux, favouring emotional resonance over strict historical reenactment. Soundscapes and simple lighting sculpt nocturnal and intimate atmospheres, while performers shift between storytelling and embodiment. The route alternates between the company’s traditional itinerary and a new underground-themed walk, creating a layered experience of memory, surprise and communal discovery.

Inspired by Rousseau’s herborisations, the route invites curiosity, reflection and a renewed attention to the living world as you move through changing natural scenes.
