Festivals and cultural events Paris 1st 75001

This landmark event of the year is an unhoped-for opportunity to take a behind-the-scenes look at the treasures of French heritage. During this magical night, the city's museums and monuments awaken. Sublimated by the play of light installed for the occasion, they discover themselves in a new light. This little-known face of the general public brings its share of surprises and discoveries and carries within it a rather mystical atmosphere. Numerous events are organized for the occasion such as guided walks or concerts. Each of them is presented in the programme on the Ministry of Culture's website. Not to be missed!
