About
On Wednesday, December 9, 2026, La Vagabonde in the 20th arrondissement hosts "Les enfantines," a series of storytelling performances led by Sylvain Gagnier. Designed for children ranging from infancy to six years old, the program features three distinct shows tailored to specific age groups. From exploring imaginary landscapes to learning about perseverance and cooperation, these performances offer a meaningful cultural experience for young audiences. Tickets are priced at 10€ for adults and 8€ for children. Whether your little ones are toddlers or school-aged, this event provides an accessible and engaging way to spend a Wednesday afternoon in the heart of Paris.
10:30 AM, From Island to Island, a Japanese stopover
(for children aged 0 to 3)
Each island becomes a world to discover, with its characters, landscapes, and surprises. A show that plays with the idea of travel and reminds us that stories are also vessels: you just need to get on board to head elsewhere.
2:00 PM, Stubborn Turtle
(for children over 5 years old)
She moves slowly. Very slowly. But the turtle knows what she wants, and she does not intend to give up.
A story where slowness becomes a strength and where determination allows for overcoming obstacles.
A show that reminds children that it is not necessary to be the fastest, the biggest, or the strongest to complete your journey.
3:15 PM, Accord of Tales
(for children aged 3 to 6)
To tell a story is to build a relationship. It will be about stories that talk about meeting, listening, and cooperation.
The tale becomes a playground where everyone must find their place and where we discover that doing things together sometimes requires knowing how to listen to the other.
