Events - OUT - in Paris

During its 18 years of existence, the Parisian Nuit Blanche (White Night) has proved both successful and original. This nocturnal celebration of contemporary art and culture continues to attract an ever-wider audience and there’s no doubt that this year it will again be a huge hit. Your Hotel Monte Cristo invites you to participate!

The Grand Palais has become synonymous with contemporary art. Thus, from September 13th to 17th it will be the venue for the 31st edition of the Biennale Paris, a universal art fair dedicated to ‘6,000 years of art’. This key event offers not only the opportunity to discover the artists and creators at the forefront of current trends, but also to take the pulse of the art market.

The Parisian summer is bursting with events, outdoor cinema, festivals of all kinds, unusual encounters and more. Today, however, the Monte Cristo team has chosen to focus on a very special show of its kind; a Night at the Invalides.

Among the highlights of a July 14th in Paris are the military parade on the Champs-Elysees, the flypast of the crack Patrouille de France aerobatic team and, of course, the firefighters' balls that take place in the various Parisian barracks. And then, of course, there’s the spectacular fireworks display over the Seine. Our Hotel Monte Cristo team tells you how to make the most of Bastille Day in Paris.

If there’s an exhibition not to be missed this year, it’s the one devoted to Tutankhamun! Exceptional in every way, it’s proving hugely popular. Make your plans to see it soon because the exhibits will eventually be returned to Egypt, where they will remain in a new museum built specially to house them and other ancient Egyptian treasures. An essential experience during your stay at the Hotel Monte Cristo. 

A Parisian institution and a nature retreat in the heart of the capital, the Jardin des Plantes is also a botanical garden at the forefront of science. To add even more to its appeal, it has a zoo and is the location of the Museum of Natural History and its famous Gallery of Evolution. Don’t miss this fascinating place during your stay at the Hotel Monte Cristo!
