In 2026, the TVK Endowment Fund – La Terre est une architecture, in partnership with La Villette, launched and implemented the Consulat de la Terre, which will hold its first event on Saturday 28 March as part of the opening of the Ferme de la Villette.

The Consulat de la Terre brings together young and old alike to explore four themes organised into cycles designed as four key events throughout the seasons: matter, water, life and energy, guided by the giants, who serve as hosts and guides at the Consulat de la Terre. It comes to life in Paris, at the Ferme de La Villette, drawing on architecture, urban planning, science and the arts, and through a programme that is renewed with each cycle, centred around a story, a cookery workshop, a screening and a round-table discussion.

In partnership with La Villette Farm.
Since its creation 40 years ago, Parc de La Villette has fostered a dialogue between nature and culture. Designed by architect Bernard Tschumi, its meadows and themed gardens have always been conceived as places for strolling, daydreaming and socialising.
Over the years, the Park has expanded on this vision: with the Jardins Passagers, opened in 2001, offering educational trails on sustainable development and workshops for all, set in a less domesticated natural environment. Then, in 2023, with the opening of the Ferme de La Villette.
From the weekend of 28 March, this farm is expanding: 15,000 m² and a magnificent renovated hall will provide new spaces for strolling, observing, gardening, growing crops and learning.
