We’re celebrating summer, the sunshine and the end of the season, and we’d love to invite you to our summer party at the Gare du Nord!

Three friends have arranged to get together to make music – but one of them is missing! Who is she, and where has she got to? On a musical treasure hunt, two musicians follow mysterious clues, discover surprising treasures and search for the right sounds. With the children’s help, they solve puzzles, make music and finally uncover the mystery of their missing friend.
