## What is Festival de la Culture?

The official visitor companion for the Festival de la Culture, marking the inauguration of the BAPS Swaminarayan Hindu Mandir in Paris.

From 2 to 14 September 2026, the Festival Village at Bussy-Saint-Georges hosts thirteen days of assemblies, ceremonies and cultural programmes. This app is your guide to all of it.

THE PROGRAMME
Every day of the festival, with times. Ceremonies that run several times a day are grouped together so you can see each session and whether places remain. Where a time is still to be confirmed, the app says so rather than guessing.

THE VENUE
Opening times for each day, the visitor entrance, and where to find food, shops, first aid and water. Practical detail you would otherwise have to ask a volunteer for — what you can bring in, how to pay, what the bag limit is.

PREPARING TO COME
What to pack and what to leave behind. Step-by-step guidance for arriving by train, by car, by taxi or on foot. A checklist that remembers what you have already done.

WHILE YOU ARE IN PARIS
Places to visit near the Festival Village. The Prasadi Yatra — sites across the city sanctified by the BAPS gurus, among them the lawns beside the Eiffel Tower where the first BAPS satsang sabha in mainland Europe was held in 1982.

WORKS WITHOUT SIGNAL
There is no public WiFi at the Festival Village and many visitors will be roaming. Everything you have already opened stays available offline, and the app tells you when you are reading a saved copy.

NOTIFICATIONS
Turn on reminders for the things that matter — programme changes, and news as the festival approaches. Off by default; you choose.

No account. No sign-in. Nothing to buy. Festival registration is handled by myBAPS, and the app links you there rather than asking for your details.
