Celebrate the Spring of the Poets together!

The 24th Spring of the Poets, which takes place from 12 to 28 March 2022, invites us to explore poetry on the theme of “the ephemeral”. As a historic partner of the event, we will be celebrating poetry this spring throughout March across our entire network.

After Ardour, Beauty, Courage and Desire, it is the turn of the Ephemeral to feature in the Spring of the Poets. A moment captured from a lifetime. To find out more about the 2022 Spring of the Poets, click here.

The Ephemeral will therefore take centre stage, with various posters on the pendant signage on lines metro symbole metro ligne 3 metro ligne 3b metro ligne 6 and metro ligne 12.

Along with the poems displayed in the trains and on the network, poetry postcards will also be distributed in some stations in the same colours as the posters.

Coming soon: the RATP Grand Prix for Poetry

For the eighth year running, we are organising our Grand Prix for Poetry in the spring to discover amateur poets of all ages. Children, young people and adults will be invited to take part in this great poetry-writing competition from 16 March to 19 April 2022.


This year the Grand Prix jury will be chaired by the author, composer and performer, Eddy de Pretto.
