To mark Nuit Blanche and Printemps des cités-jardins, artists and artisans invite you to discover the Pré Saint-Gervais garden city: open studios, exhibitions, tours, and encounters are on the program!
The Henri Sellier garden city, an emblematic site in Le Pré Saint-Gervais, is an avant-garde architectural achievement from the 1930s. Designed to address a critical housing shortage while innovating and seeking to offer a pleasant way of life, with the ambition of bringing the countryside into the city, integrating facilities with homes, weaving art and sport into daily life, and fostering social diversity, the garden city remains an avant-garde project today, inspiring urban planners and researchers from every background and every corner of the world. With the presence of artists and artisans, the garden city has found a new diversity. It is reinventing itself and telling the story of a utopia brought to life.
