Why a building with triangular windows and round doors? This is Little Villette. It’s a quirky, kid-friendly space right in front of the Grande Halle de la Villette. Little Villette isn’t your average museum. It’s a 1,000m² space bursting with free activities for kids of all ages. It opens its doors on Saturdays and Sundays from 2:30 pm to 6:30 pm. It’s also open on Wednesdays during school holidays. Little Villette is a hub of creativity and fun. Inside this vibrant building, you’ll find a year-round program of workshops and shows. Think ciné-concerts, special cinema screenings for little ones (they call it Little Ciné), and family-friendly performances. There are also designated areas for games and early learning activities. Little Villette keeps things fresh with theme weekends that tie into the bigger events happening at Parc de la Villette. There’s even a farm nearby. If you’re looking for open-access fun, Little Villette has you covered. Check out the reading corner, build something amazing at the Lego table, or explore the play area with traditional Kalumba wooden games. There’s also a room dedicated to body awareness, a cabinet of curiosities where you can even observe the aurora borealis, and of course, the weekend Little Ciné screenings. Little Villette is more than just a children’s museum. It’s a place where families can connect, create, and explore together.
