La Villette is committed to making culture accessible to everyone. With the support of patrons, several initiatives have been launched to promote artistic creation and encourage cultural education. These collaborations strengthen the programming and open up new opportunities, while enabling an ever-growing audience to flourish in a rich and diverse cultural environment.
Culture at La Villette
Supporting Emerging Artists
With the support of the Fondation Culture & Diversité
Since 2021, 100% L’EXPO has marked an ongoing collaboration with the Fondation Culture & Diversité, to showcase the work of young artists who have recently graduated from programs promoting equal opportunity.
Together, the teams at the Culture & Diversity Foundation and La Villette provide these emerging creators with the opportunity to present their work to both industry professionals and the general public.
Little Villette
LEGO® at La Villette
With the support of the LEGO® Group.
This partnership between LEGO®, and La Villette, launched in 2016 with the opening of Little Villette, entered a new phase in September 2024.
In recent months, the program—primarily designed for groups from socially disadvantaged backgrounds and led by trained facilitators—has focused on themes of nature and the environment.
Coming in 2025: the renovation of the LEGO® studio inside the Grande Halle, followed in 2026 by the creation of a new space within the Farm.
Together, LEGO® and La Villette foster children’s creative expression while supporting access to culture for all.

La Villette, more than just a park !
Basketball Facilities
With the support of the National Sports Agency and Caisse d’Epargne
In partnership with the French Basketball Federation, the Parisian Basketball Committee, and the French Handisport Federation
In May 2024, La Villette inaugurated a 3×3 court and a unique “basketball tree” in the heart of the park, made possible by support from the National Sports Agency and Caisse d’Epargne.
Designed by street artist Jordane Saget, these facilities are accessible seven days a week to everyone, as well as to members of the Parisian Basketball Committee and the French Handisport Federation.

Accessibility at la Villette
Strengthening our commitment to accessibility
With the support of the Malakoff Humanis Handicap Foundation.
La Villette is gradually rising to the challenge of making its spaces accessible to as many people as possible—both throughout the park and across its full range of programming.
In 2025, it received support from the Malakoff Humanis Handicap Foundation, a long-standing advocate for people with disabilities, to expand its offerings for deaf and hard-of-hearing audiences.
This initiative focuses on several key areas: innovative technical investments, an increased number of accessible performances, more tailored arts and culture education programs, and French Sign Language (LSF) training for many La Villette staff members.
