Craft in the spotlight

JEMA, European Crafts Days are held from April 7 to April 12, 2026. To mark the occasion, artisans open their workshops and offer tours, demonstrations and introductory workshops. This year, Explore Paris is offering guided strolls linking various creative venues in Saint-Denis and Aubervilliers.

Springtime in Paris parks

In April spring has truly begun! The days are getting longer and longer and with the hour changing to summertime (the last week-end of March) we gain an extra hour of daylight. Enjoy parks and green spaces in Seine-Saint-Denis and admire fauna and flora blossoming in the parc de la Haute-Île or the parc forestier de la Poudrerie.

Hikes and walks

Guided urban walks and hiking itineraries on foot or by bike, in the city, in the forest or by the water allow you to breathe in the fresh air in Île-de-France.

Festivals and fairs in Greater Paris

The Banlieues Bleues festival (jazz and blues festival) takes place in April in several concert halls in Seine-Saint-Denis and Île-de-France.

The Circulations festival at 104 Paris presents emerging talents in European photography from March 21 to May 17, 2026.

The Iron Motors show at Circuit Carole is a must-attend event for motorcycle and racing enthusiasts. On April 25 and 26, 2026, come see some truly unique motorcycles!
