STORYTIME

To awaken children's imaginations and inspire their emotions!

Right now: stories to savor!

February 4 to March 8

From February 4 to March 8, we're celebrating food with our new show: stories to savor! Albert's cookies have disappeared, chocolate trains are raining down by the thousands, and Zaza is preparing her restaurant. Enough to whet your appetite for reading!

Share the joy of reading

A veritable ritual, the show is a central part of the museum visit. The children gather together, chant the magic words, and open the story chest... The reading-show, performed by two voices, is accompanied by sound effects and props. The children are captivated, and many parents leave with the desire to read more at home.

Discover our different formats

Our troupe of storytellers is made up of professional actors, trained in reading aloud and directed by stage director Lou Lefevre. We offer several types of shows for adults, babies, and even musical readings!

Baby reading

Here, there's no need to sit up straight—quite the opposite!
We let babies crawl, explore, touch, look, babble, play... and above all, experience books at their own pace. At the heart of this gentle bubble: a show designed for little ones, based on tender, colorful, musical, poetic picture books.

For babies aged 9 to 36 months
At our two locations, Chantelivre and Bastille

Musical readings

Have you heard of our musical readings?
Based on a book, Léa and Antoine take us on a half-hour journey of swing and sweetness: we sing and dance, accompanied by a guitar, piano, or flute. We're counting on you to clap along!
‍
For all siblings, ages 1 to 6!
At the Chantelivre house only

The story tent

Our storytellers share their passion for books both inside and outside our walls: Salon du Livre Jeunesse de Montreuil, Hangar Y, Festival du livre de Paris etc... La Maison des histoires travels thanks to its magnificent story tent!

Our meeting cycle

La Maison des parents is a gathering of grown-ups to share, exchange, learn and be inspired, always with books at the heart. We sit down at the café and chat with an exceptional guest in a relaxed, friendly format.
