The Animal Today: What Do We Know About It?

From January 12 to 17, 2026, the Maison de l'animal is proposing a singular rendezvous to question the place of other species within our modern societies. This ephemeral event shatters prejudices by highlighting recent knowledge about the sensitivity and intelligence of those who share our daily lives or inhabit wild ecosystems. Instead of mere observations, the journey invites a real awakening to the invisible ties that unite us to living things. By settling in the Chai de Bercy for only six days, this initiative highlights the urgency of rethinking our coexistence with wildlife. A necessary pause to gain a fairer, more ethical and above all, more enlightened perspective on our fellow planet inhabitants.
