No, I’m not talking about the Ben Stiller movie. I’m talking about one of the greatest nights across Europe “La Nuit Européenne des Musées”. And Paris is one of the top cities to enjoy such an event.
So what is the Night of European Museums? Paris museums will be open from 6:00 pm-12 midnight for FREE. That’s right, free entrance to all permanent collections. A truly unique way to experience over 193 different exhibits and museum attractions in Paris. Of course you’ll find the major players such as the Lovure, Orsay and even Geroges Pompidou open, but a few special spots to look out for are the Petit Palais, Victor Hugo’s House, Musée d’Art Moderne,....here you’ll find the official link for every museum in every arrondissement. Enjoy!
Here are a few more events in May worth mentioning....
Chateau des Versailles Fountains are on!
Even though this is mentioned every year, it’s still worth a reminder. The fountains run Saturday and Sundays from 11-12 pm and again from 3:30 pm-5:30 pm.
Saint Germain Jazz Festival
May 15th-29th: The Saint Germain Jazz Festival is a must see every year with local musicians filling the streets with the sweet sounds of Parisian Jazz.
Carré Rive Gauche Fair
May 27 th– 29th. If you’re out looking for a street fair with flare, be sure not to miss the famous Rive Gauche Fair on rue du Bac in the 6eme. What’s one man’s trash is another man’s treasure. Happy Hunting!
