Le Paysan Urbain (Paris 20th)
About
To mark ten years of Le Paysan Urbain, the exhibition Les Parisculteurs s'exposent takes over the gates of their headquarters in the 20th arrondissement. From September 10, 2026, to March 31, 2027, discover fifteen large-format panels showcasing the diverse faces and projects behind Paris's urban agriculture movement. From rooftop gardens to underground parking farms, this visual display explores how city spaces are being repurposed for food production and social connection. The exhibition is free to visit and open to the public, offering an insightful look at the future of urban farming in the heart of the city.
Since 2015, Paris has supported the installation and development of local agriculture in and around Paris through the Parisculteurs program: from building rooftops to underground parking lots and open-ground plots, urban agriculture is encouraged wherever possible.
Through a selection of 15 large-format panels, this exhibition offers Parisians an unexpected face-to-face encounter with projects and their leaders, demonstrating the diverse aspects of their work: food production, training in agricultural trades, participation in the fight against food insecurity, and strengthening the link between the city and the countryside...
On view until March 2027, at the headquarters of Paysan Urbain, a major actor heavily involved in several Parisculteurs projects.

Celebrating a decade of growth, Le Paysan Urbain presents an exhibition highlighting the projects and individuals who have successfully transformed urban landscapes into productive agricultural sites. The content covers a range of activities, from crop production and professional training to efforts aimed at reducing food insecurity.
Visitors will find fifteen large-format panels detailing the various aspects of this work, featuring photography by Jacques Olivier Bled and the DEVE. These images document how urban farming strengthens the connection between city life and agricultural practices.
The exhibition is located on the railings of the Le Paysan Urbain headquarters at 14 rue Stendhal, 75020 Paris. As an outdoor installation, it is free of charge and accessible to everyone throughout the duration of the event, which runs until March 31, 2027.
