About Festival of the Imagination
The Festival of Imagination is held annually in Paris each spring. This innovative event seeks to promote cultural from the nearest, as well as the farthest, reaches of the earth.
This fascinating program is as diverse as the people of the world. Each culture brings its own traditions, whether modern or olden to the table for a spicy mix of contemporary, academic, minimalist, sophisticated, chic, modern and folk performance pieces. In the past these events have been through the spoken word, song and/or dance of Japanese puppetry from Sado Island, dance music from Cape Verde, choirs from the Syrian Orthodox Church, folk music from the Hmong of the Golden Triangle and many other exotic and entertaining peoples.
As the name states, the only limitation on this festival is the imagination!

Paris Hotels for the Festival of the Imagination
Here is a short guide to Festival of the Imagination Hotels.
Perfect for those on a budget, the Hotel de L’avenier has a minimal cost of 56EUR per night for its three star status. Located on a quiet street on the Left Bank, right beside Montparnasse, a stone’s throw from the Festival of the Imagination, this setting also provides easy access to Le Jardin du Luxembourg, the spirited St Michel’s district and the Notre Dame des Champs station on Metro Line 12. 65 rue Madame, Paris, 75006
The Best Western Aramis Saint German is situated in the lively St Germain district. The hotel attracts lofty guests that are drawn to the warm, home away from home atmosphere that the staff and hotel itself provides, although the best part may just be the 83EUR per night pricetag for such a delightful three star stay. 124 rue de Rennes, Paris, 75006
For those seeking a bit of luxury, the Grand Hotel Littre, which sits between Montparnasse and the St Germain district, provides just that. It is a first class five star and the 200EUR per night price tag promises to be well worth your while
