Spring of Sculpture kicks off
The “Spring of Sculpture” festival launches March 22 with a curated cycling route from La Défense that links sports and public art across the city — expect site-specific sculptures and sport‑focused programming (sortiraparis.com). The program is explicitly built around movement — cycling and outdoor activations make it a good fit if you shoot urban sport/landscape sequences (sortiraparis.com).
The Printemps de la Sculpture returns for its 8th edition, officially scheduled across the Hauts‑de‑Seine from March 21 to March 29, 2026, with organisers advertising “more than a hundred” free cultural rendez‑vous. (sortiraparis.com) Organisers have mapped seven distinct “parcours vélo‑sculpture” this year that link La Défense with sites including the Domaine de la Malmaison, Île‑Seguin and Parc André‑Malraux, with some guided rides run as scheduled itineraries. (destination.hauts-de-seine.fr) Paris La Défense is a formal partner for the bike programming and notes it has developed about 16.4 km of dedicated cycling lanes in the district to support events and commuting. (parisladefense.com) Past La Défense bike departures ran on weekend afternoons (notably 14:30–15:10 slots in prior editions), and organisers again plan timed group departures during the festival weekends. (sortiraparis.com) La Seine Musicale is listed among host venues with free activities on festival dates, while the Musée Rodin — Villa des Brillants in Meudon is reopening for free visits and workshops on weekend dates that coincide with the Printemps de la Sculpture. (laseinemusicale.com) The département offers a digital “chasse aux sculptures” via the Baludik app and an interactive programme map; organisers say about 22 partner sites are involved in this year’s networked activities. (destination.hauts-de-seine.fr) La Défense’s open‑air museum route still features major public works by artists such as Alexander Calder, Joan Miró and César, which are specifically highlighted on the guided‑bike and walking itineraries. (exploreparis.com) Note that while the département lists March 21–29 as the festival window, a few partner venues publish slightly different spans (for example La Seine Musicale lists the event across March 22–30), so programming and venue opening days vary by partner.
