Archipel is an invitation to discovery and meeting others, offering a playful and poetic journey to the heart of a universe in motion.
From November 24 to December 13, 2026, the Pain d’épine show will take over and at the same time celebrate its 800th performance! Loosely inspired by the timeless tale, Claire the pastry chef welcomes children aged 3 to 6 into her colorful kitchen to tell them the crisp and thrilling story of this intrepid biscuit.
In addition to the regular programming, the spaces of L’Illusion will come alive thanks to the hosting of three shows presented in collaboration with valuable broadcast partners.
