We Love Green Paris 2027: The Festival at Bois de Vincennes, 4 to 6 June

We Love Green takes over the Bois de Vincennes for three days in June. The Paris tourism board lists the 2027 edition from Friday 4 to Sunday 6 June 2027, an eco minded music festival in the woods on the eastern edge of the city.

It is a festival with a commute built in, which is exactly why the arrival plan matters. Land, settle in the center, and ride out to the trees each day. This post covers what the tourism board has announced so far, plus the first hour from Charles de Gaulle.

The tourism board describes We Love Green as an eco friendly music event with a strong social mission that has become a fixture of the spring music scene. The lineup spans pop, rock, electronic and rap, the atmosphere is relaxed, and there are activities for kids alongside the stages.

The first names announced for the 2027 edition are Angele, Lola Young and Fontaines D.C., with more to come as the date nears. Treat that as a start, not a bill: festival lineups grow in waves, and the board page is the place to check the latest names before you book around a favorite.

The setting does half the work. The Bois de Vincennes is a real wood, not a city square, so days run on grass and shade rather than concrete. Base yourself in the center, ride out for the music, and let Paris itself handle the mornings.

The ride in is the same whatever brings you to Paris. The RER B is the guide pick for speed and price, taxis run on a flat fare, and a booked transfer removes the thinking after a long flight. See our CDG to Paris transfer guide for every option, priced and compared. The festival ground is across the city from the airport, so settle at the hotel first rather than dragging bags toward the woods.

For a Splurge, Hotel Lutetia, at 45 Boulevard Raspail, is the Left Bank grand dame, reborn in Saint-Germain, with a jazz bar, a spa and rooms looking over the rooftops of the 6th. For Sweet spot, Hotel Malte Astotel, at 63 Rue de Richelieu, is a cheerful, well run hotel a short walk from the Opera and the Louvre, with an open snack bar and a sauna. For Budget, Grand Hotel Leveque, at 29 Rue Cler, is a small three star hotel on the Rue Cler market street, four minutes from the Champ de Mars and six from Les Invalides.

For getting back, the RER B reaches CDG in 35 to 50 minutes from the central stations, and a flat fare taxi covers an early departure. A central base also keeps the ride out to the Bois de Vincennes simple on each festival day, and the ride home at night lands you near food, not in an empty suburb.

Get connected before you fly: the guide names an Airalo eSIM for France, with Saily as a good alternative, and free Wi-Fi is standard in cafes and most hotels. A local SIM has to be registered to your passport under French law, so the eSIM is the simpler start.

Cards work almost everywhere, including the metro gates. Use bank ATMs such as BNP Paribas, Societe Generale and La Banque Postale, pay in euros when the machine offers a conversion, and keep €20 to €30 in cash for markets and small boulangeries. The tourist tax runs €5 to €10 per night depending on hotel category, collected at the hotel.

For a first meal, the guide sends you to a still warm croissant and a cafe creme at a cafe terrace, standing at the counter for the local price. Book Louvre and Eiffel Tower tickets before you fly, as the guide directs: festival days start late, so a timed morning slot at a big sight fits the rhythm of the weekend well.

Three days of music in the trees, with Paris wrapped around it, is a strong shape for a June trip. Browse the events calendar for what else is on while you are in town, and use plan your trip to line up the days around the festival.
