The Festival des Canotiers returns this year to Ménilmontant for its 16th edition, from May 30th to June 4th 2023. On the program: Concerts and open-air cinema await you. And all this for free, a good plan not to be missed!

Here is a neighborhood festival which, neither too famous nor completely in the shade, continues its little way and returns to Paris for its 16th edition: the Festival des Canotiers. Admit it: its name alone is enough to make you dream of a burning sun, on the square in front of the church of the place Maurice Chevalier and around ...

From Tuesday, May 30th to Sunday, June 4th, 2023, "Ménil mon Temps" presents once again its Festival des canotiers, with cinema projections and concerts. Direction the square of the church of Ménilmontant, place Maurice Chevalier in the 20th to enjoy these free animations.

It is at the end of the years 2000 that was born the idea to organize artistic events in the district, in particular the festival "Printemps de Ménilmontant" and the henceforth famous "Annual Gala of the artists of Ménilmontant" with godfathers and godmothers such as Allain Leprest, Jill Caplan, Christian Olivier, Serge Guérin, Christian Pacoud...
