So make a date this weekend to see the Grande Parade, with two daily departures: at 3pm and 5pm, opposite the floral clock. For the occasion, floats, artists, acrobats, musicians, dancers and mascots will parade down the Jardin d'Acclimatation 's main avenue for most of the afternoon.

Come and meet the jugglers and tightrope walkers who liven up the village of rides, and admire the flying boats, hot-air balloons and time machines... Or take a ride on the Enchanted River! All Grande Parade events are free of charge, with no extra charge for admission.

Don't forget, the Jardin d'Acclimatation is also 450 animals and birds, 18 hectares of walks and 15 restaurants and food trucks: everything you need for a snack, a bite to eat on site, a walk with the kids, or to discover farm animals... In short, have a good time in a green space with lots of good ideas.
