🌱 SAGE
In Bobigny, the Prairie du Canal, run by the association La SAUGE, has established itself since 2017 as an essential open-air space in the Île-de-France region. A former industrial wasteland dedicated to mopeds, it has been transformed into one of the first urban farms in France, becoming an inspiring model for many other projects… A joyful and festive way to achieve ecological transition.

🚶‍♀️ Come to the Canal Meadow
La Prairie du Canal, 55 rue de Paris, 93000 Bobigny; take metro line 5 to the Pantin Bobigny Raymond Queneau stop, then walk along the canal for 15 minutes, and you're there! (Note: Google Maps suggests taking the N3, but the walk is much nicer if you follow the Canal de l'Ourcq). Otherwise, allow an hour for the walk from Place Stalingrad along the Canal de l'Ourcq!
