la Parcelle is intended to be a welcoming space that contributes to the daily lives of local residents and workers at Porte d’Aubervilliers, a place to stroll, take a break, and discover new things.

The Maison des Petits at the CENTQUATRE-PARIS has moved to la Parcelle and welcomes parents and children every Wednesday and Saturday from 3 to 6pm in a welcoming space that includes both inside and outside areas.

The Maison des Petits organises free workshops for children, led by two visual artists. They can play, draw, read, or share in the creation of giant frescoes or weaving to create a collaborative screen.

Young explorers can explore every nook and cranny of the play area, shoot down the slide, climb, and play freely in la Parcelle’s wooden huts.

The play area is open, free of charge, from 8.30am to 6pm on weekdays, and from 11am to 6pm on weekends.

All the plants on the plot have been carefully selected by the Vergers Urbains association, with particular attention paid to the diversity and harmony of the species.

The kitchen garden produces vegetables, fruit, and herbs. It is mainly used for educational purposes (workshops, visits, etc.), with a view to passing on knowledge and raising awareness of the natural world and of environmental issues.

Finally, the flower farm is a place to stroll around and a source of inspiration for the workshops of the artistic programme.

Throughout the year, la Parcelle presents artistic installations. Some are easy to spot, like the Parasol Tree from the Atelier Craft. Others blend more discreetly into their surroundings, inviting visitors on an artistic treasure hunt.
