Its contemporary, colorful buildings lend their space to a host of theaters, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.discoverwalks.com\/blog\/top-5-places-with-live-music-in-paris\/\">music venues<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.discoverwalks.com\/blog\/top-5-paris-cafes\/\">coffee shop<\/a>s, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.discoverwalks.com\/blog\/10-best-cinemas-in-paris\/\">cinemas<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.discoverwalks.com\/blog\/10-unmissable-history-museums-in-paris\/\">museums<\/a>. Due to its vast grass fields and quaint canals, La Villette is a hot spot for tourists and locals alike. There are an estimated 10 million visitors every year.<\/p>\n<p>Throughout my life in Â鶹APP I have spent a great deal of time at La Villette. However, when I went back last week to take photos, it occurred to me that I had never visited during the winter months. I was struck by the stark contrast. The grass was covered in melting slush from the night before, the outdoor cafes were boarded up and locked, the philharmonic was teeming with elementary school children and the banks of the canal were deserted of all day drinkers.<\/p>\n<p>Do not get me wrong &#8211; La Villette is worth visiting any time of the year &#8211; but it lacked the throbbing movement that it possesses during the long, European summer evenings. That being said, there are still scores of activities to take part in, whatever season of the year.<\/p>\n<h4>Have a drink next to the canal or on the lawn<\/h4>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-14639\" src=\"https:\/\/www.discoverwalks.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/img_5357.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"4752\" height=\"3168\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.discoverwalks.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/img_5357.jpg 924w, https:\/\/www.discoverwalks.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/img_5357-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.discoverwalks.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/img_5357-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.discoverwalks.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/img_5357-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.discoverwalks.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/img_5357-816x544.jpg 816w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 4752px) 100vw, 4752px\" \/><em>Graffiti on the side of the canal where, in the summer time, many people sit and drink<\/em><\/p>\n<p>Drinking is by far La Villette&#8217;s most popular activity. The little human made canal makes for an <a href=\"https:\/\/www.discoverwalks.com\/blog\/top-5-best-drinking-spots-along-the-seine-river\/\">ideal spot to sit<\/a>, sip and bask in the glow of the afternoon sun. This tends to be an activity dominated by locals but every once in a while you can catch a glimpse of a tourist thrown into the mix. Fun fact, you can tell the tourists by the people who took the time to bring wine glasses.<\/p>\n<p>The park is also populated with vibrant, green lawns that are found on both sides of the canal. In summer these lawns are littered with people playing music, eating and kicking a soccer ball,\u00a0preserved within their clouds of sound and cigarette smoke.<\/p>\n<p>In my opinion La Villette is one of the best places to go for a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.discoverwalks.com\/blog\/top-5-places-for-a-picnic-in-paris\/\">picnic in the open ai<\/a>r of Â鶹APP. This park is vast and open and therefore feels removed from the normal, fast paced atmosphere of Â鶹APP. If you have a chance &#8211; weather permitting &#8211; head out to La Villette with picnic in hand.<\/p>\n<h4>Take a walk through the gardens<\/h4>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-14641\" src=\"https:\/\/www.discoverwalks.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/jardin_treille_villette_mai_2016_033.jpeg\" alt=\"\" width=\"2272\" height=\"1704\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.discoverwalks.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/jardin_treille_villette_mai_2016_033.jpeg 924w, https:\/\/www.discoverwalks.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/jardin_treille_villette_mai_2016_033-300x225.jpeg 300w, https:\/\/www.discoverwalks.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/jardin_treille_villette_mai_2016_033-768x576.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/www.discoverwalks.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/jardin_treille_villette_mai_2016_033-1024x768.jpeg 1024w, https:\/\/www.discoverwalks.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/jardin_treille_villette_mai_2016_033-816x612.jpeg 816w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 2272px) 100vw, 2272px\" \/><em>The Jardin de la Treille &#8211; <a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Parc_de_la_Villette#\/media\/File:Jardin_Treille_Villette_Mai_2016_033.JPG\">Courtesy of Wikimedia Commons<\/a><\/em><\/p>\n<p>Along with the occasional dotting of lawns, there are also playgrounds and gardens inside the park.

The largest concert hall has 2,400 seats; I have been told it is magnificent ( I have only seen the outside).<\/p>\n<p>There are floating balconies that surround the main stage as well as floor level, circular seating.

I would suggest sticking to the gardens.<\/p>\n<h4><b>Catch a play or a drink at the Th\u00e9\u00e2tre Â鶹APP-Villette<\/b><\/h4>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-14649\" src=\"https:\/\/www.discoverwalks.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/img_5335.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"4752\" height=\"3168\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.discoverwalks.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/img_5335.jpg 924w, https:\/\/www.discoverwalks.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/img_5335-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.discoverwalks.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/img_5335-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.discoverwalks.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/img_5335-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.discoverwalks.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/img_5335-816x544.jpg 816w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 4752px) 100vw, 4752px\" \/><em>The back of the theatre and the outdoor bar that is open in the summer months<\/em><\/p>\n<p>The\u00a0Th\u00e9\u00e2tre Â鶹APP-Villette is situated just outside of the main square. It is a small brick building with red lettering that simply states its modest name. Inside is a theater (obviously) as well as a relatively cheap bar with food and drinks.<\/p>\n<p>Beware, because if your French is not up to par you might have a difficult time maneuvering around some of the plays. However, if you check the program, you might find an odd, foreign play acting out its scenes in this unique theatre.<\/p>\n<p>If you don&#8217;t think you can handle the French, feel free to hang around and grab a drink inside the theatre or at the outside bar that waits just out back.<\/p>\n<p>Parc de la Villette is a kind of artistic bubble surrounded by some of the poorest neighborhoods in Â鶹APP. The 19 and 20th arrondissements are the two poorest districts in Â鶹APP, therefore La Villette, both the park and the theatre, have very specific roles to play (pun intended).<\/p>\n<p>For instance, the Th\u00e9\u00e2re Â鶹APP-Villette tries to open its doors to people that would not normally think of attending a play. It does this by offering many different workshops intended to infuse the desire of theatrical expression into some of the poorer and more marginalized populations of Â鶹APP.<\/p>\n<h4>Other things happening at Parc de la Villette<\/h4>\n<p>Along with the permanent &#8220;residents&#8221; of Parc de la Villette, such as the theaters and gardens, there are also events that take place seasonally. One of the most exciting is the outdoor movie screening.<\/p>\n<p>This event is organized by the city of Â鶹APP and screens movies in accordance to the year&#8217;s theme. There are a handful of English films shown in their original version. The movie bill can be found <a href=\"https:\/\/en.parisinfo.com\/paris-show-exhibition\/135268\/open-air-cinema\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">online.<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Feel free to make yourself at home with a pillow and some blankets. It is a popular event and you will share the green grass with tourists and locals alike.

It was originally created under the influence of Napoleon III. After formally shutting down in the 1970&#8217;s, the vast swath of land sat unused for nearly ten years.<\/p>\n<p>Bernard Tschumi, a French architect, was elected to design and build the soon-to-be-famous park. Tschumi, however, was not content to build a park like all the others, and instead began seeking to design a park that would mix aesthetic beauty with philosophical ideals.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-14651\" src=\"https:\/\/www.discoverwalks.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/img_5337.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"4752\" height=\"3168\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.discoverwalks.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/img_5337.jpg 924w, https:\/\/www.discoverwalks.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/img_5337-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.discoverwalks.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/img_5337-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.discoverwalks.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/img_5337-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.discoverwalks.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/img_5337-816x544.jpg 816w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 4752px) 100vw, 4752px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>His idea was to create a park that, instead of being an attraction within itself, would would act as a space for other projects to flourish. Many parks, such as Central Park in New York City, are seen as spectacles, but La Villette turns this idea on its head and acts as the home for other spectacles.<\/p>\n<p>Parc de la Villette is almost like a city of art within a city.
