Summer Storytime in Jardin Villemin

This summer, the Bibliothèque Claire Bretécher moves outdoors to the leafy Jardin Villemin in the 10th arrondissement. Every Tuesday and Friday morning from July 7 to August 21, librarians from the Françoise Sagan and Claire Bretécher libraries, along with the association L.I.R.E, host free storytime sessions for children.

Young listeners can enjoy a rotating selection of tales, picture books, and kamishibaï—a traditional Japanese storytelling technique using illustrated cards. The sessions take place in the open air, offering a relaxed, family-friendly atmosphere in one of Paris's charming green spaces.

Please note that the outdoor sessions are weather-dependent and may be canceled in case of heavy rain or extreme heat. The venue is accessible to people with reduced mobility and offers sign language interpretation upon request.
