Bobigny: Culture, Remembrance and Nature

Bobigny brings together a range of cultural and natural highlights for a stay: the MC93 – Maison de la Culture de Seine-Saint-Denis offers theatre, dance and music; the Micro-Folie features digitally presented artworks. The Mémorial de la Gare de Déportation is a place of historical remembrance, while Parc de la Bergère focuses on nature and biodiversity. You can shape your time in Bobigny around different interests and distinguish between visits by theme.

Culture, Art and Remembrance

The MC93 offers a multidisciplinary programme of theatre, dance and music. These different disciplines give the cultural offering a clear framework: you can be interested in one performing art without the programme being limited to just one form. The MC93 also offers two-hour workshops with artists from its season programme. Workshop availability varies by season. If you are interested in taking part, consider both the two-hour duration and this seasonal availability when planning.

The Mémorial de la Gare de Déportation de Bobigny has a different focus. Visitors can visit this historical memorial site free of charge. This distinguishes its purpose from the MC93’s multidisciplinary programme: historical remembrance is at the heart of the memorial, while the MC93 focuses on theatre, dance and music. If you choose cultural destinations by theme, you can take this difference into account, as well as whether you would like to attend a performance or visit a place of remembrance.

Digital Art and Design

Since September 2025, the Micro-Folie digital museum has been housed in the Elsa Triolet media library. There, you can discover more than 5,000 high-resolution artworks, either independently or on a guided tour. This gives you two different ways to visit: exploring on your own or taking a guided tour. The digital museum is also complemented by virtual reality headsets and a FabLab for digital design. This focus brings together viewing artworks with other digital formats and design opportunities. Compared with the MC93, whose programme includes theatre, dance and music, the Micro-Folie offers a different way to engage with art and culture.

Nature along the Canal de l’Ourcq

Parc de la Bergère is located on the Canal de l’Ourcq in Bobigny and covers 15 hectares. It serves as a refuge for biodiversity in a part of the Seine-Saint-Denis département with little natural space. For visitors who want to include nature alongside culture, these details offer two different points of reference: the area indicates the park’s size, while its role as a refuge highlights its ecological importance.

A marked, four-mile hiking trail runs along the Canal de l’Ourcq and leads to Parc de la Bergère in Bobigny. This makes it possible to explore the natural area as part of a specific walking route. The four miles refer to the trail, while the 15 hectares describe the size of the park. The figures therefore refer to different things: the length of a route and the area of a place. When weighing up your interests, you can use these details to distinguish between a cultural visit, a natural area and a marked hiking trail.
