Petite histoire secrète du bois de Boulogne

This theatrical epic transports audiences from the 10th century to the present day, weaving a little-known, fantastical history of the Bois de Boulogne. A host of characters cross paths on stage, including Philip the Fair, William Shakespeare, and Napoleon Bonaparte, telling a story of Paris and France.

The performance takes place at the Théâtre de Verdure du Jardin Shakespeare, an open-air venue in the Bois de Boulogne. Created by Hédi Tillette de Clermont-Tonnerre, the show draws on conversations with the park's gardeners and foresters, bringing a unique, grounded perspective to the legendary tales of this iconic Parisian woodland.
