The Micro-Folie digital museum presents more than 3,200 digitized works from a network of 205 cultural partner institutions. Collection figures may change as the program evolves. The venue also offers a FabLab and a virtual reality area; program details may change as well. Levallois-Perret combines digital culture with a rich urban and industrial history. When choosing where to stay, you can consider whether you want your visit to focus mainly on cultural attractions or on walks and activities by the water.

Digital Culture and Urban History

The city’s history is reflected in buildings from different periods. The Hôtel de Ville was inaugurated in 1898 and is designed in the style of Louis XIV. Gustave Eiffel set up his workshops in Levallois-Perret in 1866. The former Meunier chocolate factory, in turn, was used successively for car manufacturing under Delage, chocolate production, and watchmaking for the Jaeger brand. These landmarks make the town’s industrial past tangible through specific names and uses.

The Église Sainte-Bernadette is also a noteworthy cultural site: it is classified as a heritage site of regional interest. Access may vary; check access arrangements before visiting. For historical topics, the Levallois Mémoires app offers geolocated documents, themed walks, podcasts, and virtual tours of the city. As app features may change, check what is currently available before using it.

The Micro-Folie and the app offer different focuses: one centers on digitized works and additional offerings such as a FabLab and virtual reality, while the other presents historical content in various formats. When planning your visit, you can decide whether you would rather explore a digital art collection or discover the city’s history through documents, walks, and podcasts.

The Seine, Fishing and Walks

The Île de la Jatte lies within the territory of Levallois-Perret and Neuilly-sur-Seine. Walks along its banks offer a way to explore the city on foot. For a different way to spend time on the water, there is the Marin d’Eau Douce base in Levallois-Perret, where you can explore the Seine independently in electric boats without a license. The route passes through green, protected stretches of water that were previously inaccessible to the public. Routes and access conditions may change; check them before your trip.

The Maison de la Pêche et de la Nature focuses on the Seine and its wildlife. It displays fish species from the river in 40 freshwater aquariums. The collection also includes fishing rods, reels, and other equipment that traces the history of a tradition dating back thousands of years. The offerings are complemented by themed workshops about the Seine and Levallois-Perret’s apiary, as well as nature discovery activities; dates for individual activities may change. A fishing school is available for children and young people aged 8 to 16.

The Île de la Jatte and the electric boat trip offer two different options: you can walk along the riverbank or experience the Seine from a boat. Which one better suits your visit depends on whether you prefer to get around on foot or take an independent trip on the water.

Green Spaces and Practical Planning

The Parc de la Planchette is a public garden created on part of the former grounds of the Château de la Planchette. The municipality acquired the site in 1924. The city provides an orienteering course map for the park; check that the course is available before you arrive. Opening hours vary by season: from April 1 to September 30, the park is open in summer from 7:00 a.m. to 9:30 p.m. or 10:00 p.m.; from October 1 to March 31, it is open in winter from 7:00 a.m. to 8:00 p.m. Opening hours may change, so it is best to check the current schedule before your visit.

The beehives are another part of the area’s green side. Les Ruches de Levallois comprises 41 beehives on the Île de la Jatte and in Parc Alsace; the number may change. Levallois honey is a floral honey with distinctive notes of lavender and acacia. The annual harvest is sold at Levallois Découvertes, although availability may vary. These details offer two specific nature-related activities to consider when planning your visit: orienteering in the park and urban beekeeping and its honey.
