Fancy a concert in the great outdoors? A long walk in the summer sun to the sound of Chopin? Don’t miss the Festival ‘Classique au Vert’, every weekend from 7th August to 26th September.

Following the Paris Jazz Festival in June and July, the Parc Floral de Paris, located in the heart of the Bois de Vincennes, ends the summer season with well-known classical ensembles and recitals by talented young musicians. This year, the festival pays tribute to the ‘1810 Generation’, to the great romantic composers born around that pivotal year, among them Chopin, Liszt, Mendelssohn, Schumann, Schubert or Berlioz.

Take advantage of the many activities organised throughout the day including conferences by musicologists helping you get to know the works to be performed, discussions with the artists after their performances in the convivial atmosphere which characterises the festival…

Enjoy a musical guided tour by the park’s own botanists to the most beautiful romantic airs, a master class, or one of the numerous activities for kids. This year’s bonus: an introduction to medieval music of the court. After taking in the park’s breathtaking collection of over 600 varieties of iris, you might like to listen to a chivalrous love story in the shade of the royal dungeon of the Château of Vincennes…
