Pokémon Pokopia: a free chill-out space to immerse yourself in the game at the Ateliers Gaîté

And what if we kicked back in the sun with our favorite Pokémon? We’re heading to the Pokopia Garden, at the Ateliers Gaîté in Paris, to enjoy a free relaxation space celebrating the launch of Pokémon Pokopia, running from April 2 to October 2, 2026. Open year-round (subject to the mall’s hours, of course), this garden captures the game’s core idea: turning an everyday space into a lively, green zone designed for Pokémon and for fans.

An experience also available in other European cities, such as Berlin and London. At the Ateliers Gaîté, the setup unfolds in two spaces: a welcome corner, featuring a planter box, flowers and décor, and an outdoor planting area just two meters away, in front of the Truffaut store. A genuine little rest spot, with thoughtfully chosen plants, living walls and terrariums.

In the lobby area, you'll be able to enjoy a terrarium, and also play on Pokémon Pokopia arcade cabinets to get a feel for the game. But be warned: the cabinets will only be available until April 5, 2026. Numerous details and easter eggs are also hidden, waiting for fans to uncover as they pass through. And for Pokémon Go players, they'll discover new PokéStops and new Gyms for the occasion.
