The good life at La Villette

1 June 2023

Just twenty minutes from the Hôtel La Belle Ville, La Villette is famous for its Cité des Sciences et de l'Industrie. This exciting museum and exhibition space translates, explains and ultimately transforms science into a fun subject accessible to all. But La Villette has plenty of other surprises in store, especially in the height of summer.

La Villette in the open air

In summer, the whole of Paris meets up at La Villette! First and foremost, because its basin hosts a number of water sports activities as part of Paris Plages. You'll be able to swim, try your hand at a Polynesian pirogue or take to the water on a pedalo. Discover a wide range of refreshing activities in a friendly, family atmosphere. In the evening, don't miss the Cinéma en plein air screenings. This festival offers a wide variety of films, which can be enjoyed from the comfort of a deckchair on the large lawn.

Events not to be missed

This summer, La Villette is also hosting an extraordinary exhibition devoted to Ramses II. Mummies, sculptures, masks, jewelry, sarcophagi - countless treasures from Egypt retrace the splendor of the pharaohs. The innovative scenography offers a unique immersive experience. In a completely different style, under the Chapiteaux de la Villette, Tim Burton invites you into his offbeat, burlesque and colorful world. Take a surprising journey through evocations of the director's greatest masterpieces. And if you don't want to miss a thing at La Villette, book a guided tour of the park to discover its architectural treasures, themed gardens and open-air exhibitions...

La Villette is a place to live, discover and relax. Make the most of summer and your stay at Hôtel La Belle Ville to make this vast site your own. It's best to book your tickets for the most famous exhibitions as soon as possible!
