WE LOVEGREEN
Paris's eco-responsible festival, at the heart of the Bois de Vincennes, the first weekend of June. ~100,000 people, 5 stages, a sharp indie and electronic lineup, and an environmental charter applied since 2011. Next edition June 2027 (dates to be confirmed).
We Love Green 2027
The We Love Green festival.
In a nutshell.
We Love Green was born in 2011 as a bet: build a sharp music festival while sticking to a strict environmental charter. Based since 2016 on the Plaine de la Belle Étoile, in the Bois de Vincennes, it brings together around 100,000 people over three days every first weekend of June. Five stages (La Prairie, La Clairière, La Canopée, Lalaland, Think Tank), around fifty artists, and a lineup mixing international headliners, the French scene and electronic discoveries.
Ecology isn't window dressing: an environmental charter from the very first edition, mostly plant-based food, single-use plastic eliminated, widespread sorting, low-carbon power, reused furniture. The festival serves as a lab — what works here gets adopted elsewhere. The "Think Tank" strand runs talks and panels alongside the music, on climate, food and the city.
The site is a wood: you walk on earth and grass, in the shade of trees, which changes everything compared with a paved esplanade. It's a day-and-evening festival with no camping — Paris is right there, you go home or to a hotel to sleep. Early June, Paris-region weather is mild but unpredictable: bring something warm and shoes that can handle mud if a storm passes through.

We Love Green in practice
Profile of the festival.
Capacity, atmosphere, crowd, hours and on-site budget: the full profile of We Love Green 2027 before you get your tickets.
The DNA
Sharp music + environmental rigour
Created in 2011 to prove a festival can be musically ambitious AND stick to a strict environmental charter. It's become the French benchmark of the genre.
The venue
A real wood, not an esplanade
The Plaine de la Belle Étoile, in the Bois de Vincennes: earth, grass, trees. Shade in the afternoon, a different atmosphere from an urban site — but mud possible if it rains.
No camping
A metropolitan festival
You sleep in Paris and go home each night. Metro line 1 to Château de Vincennes, then a short walk or shuttle. Late shuttles / Noctilien night buses available.
5 stages
La Prairie, La Clairière, La Canopée, Lalaland, Think Tank
From big open-air stages to more intimate spaces under the trees. The "Think Tank" alternates concerts and talks (climate, food, the city).
What to pack
Paris-region June weather
20-25°C by day, cooler in the evening, storms possible. Light clothing + a warm layer, comfortable closed shoes (natural terrain), a water bottle (free water points, no plastic).
Budget
Day pass ~€55, 3-day pass ~€139
No accommodation needed if you live in the region. On-site food is fairly high-end (a responsible gastronomic village), so a bit pricier than a classic festival.

Dates, hours, transport and lodging: what you need to know before you go.
Dates and schedule
Three days, Friday to Sunday, the first weekend of June (2027 dates not yet announced; 2026: June 5-7). Opens early afternoon, ends around 11pm-midnight — it's a site in the city, no all-nighters.

Payment
Fully cashless via the festival wristband (top up online or on site). Balance refunded after the festival.

Accessibility
The site is partly on natural terrain but has accessible platforms at the main stages, adapted restrooms, dedicated reception. Flag in advance via the website.
TransportA festival within Paris: public transport or bike, never a car.
- On site
- Metro line 1 to Château de Vincennes (eastern terminus), then a 10-15 min walk in the woods or a free shuttle on festival evenings. RER A, Vincennes station, as an alternative.
- From elsewhere in France
- TGV to Paris (Gare de Lyon is the closest, direct line 1), then metro. Lille 1h, Lyon 2h, Bordeaux 2h, Marseille 3h.
- From abroad
- Eurostar from London (2h20), Thalys/train from Brussels (1h30) and Amsterdam (3h20), arriving at Gare du Nord then metro. Roissy and Orly airports linked to the centre in 30-50 min.
AccommodationNo camping. You stay in Paris — eastern Paris is the most convenient.
- East Paris (11th, 12th, 20th, Vincennes)
- The most logical: on line 1 or close to it, you reach the festival in 15-25 min. Vincennes (the town) itself, right next to the woods, is quiet and well served.
- Central Paris
- All of the rest of Paris works via line 1 (République, Bastille, Louvre, Champs-Élysées are on it). Allow 25-40 min door to door.
- Budget
- Youth hostels in the 11th/20th, hotels at every price, short-term rentals. Early June is a busy period in Paris — book early.
DestinationIt's Paris: the festival can be an excuse for a long weekend in the city.
- Around the site
- The Bois de Vincennes itself (château, floral park, Lac Daumesnil), the Bercy district and its Cinémathèque, the Viaduc des Arts / Coulée verte on foot from Bastille.
- The rest of Paris
- Museums, neighbourhoods (Marais, Canal Saint-Martin, Belleville), gastronomy. Two or three days around the festival turn the trip into a real stay.
- Weather
- Early June: 20-25°C by day, 12-15°C in the evening, sunny to stormy depending on the year. Days are long (daylight until ~10 pm).
