From May 7 to July 13, 2025 Versailles hosts the Architecture and Landscape Biennale ‘Bap!’ initiated by the Ile-de-France region; the theme of this 3rd edition: ‘La ville vivante’, the living city.

The preservation of life, in all its forms and adaptations, lies at the heart of our concerns in the face of climate disruption and dwindling resources. In response to these challenges the Bap! is opening new perspectives and fostering the sharing of knowledge and innovation around architecture, landscape and urban planning in the Paris Region and beyond.
