Nuit Blanche (White Night) in Paris


I am sooo excited to find out that Nuit Blanche (White Night) will be held on October 6th this year while I am in Paris.  Just the kind of party I like...a whole city open all night!
 
It is the night when Art and Culture reign until dawn. First launched in 2002, Paris Nuit Blanche has become a hotly-anticipated annual celebration of all things art and culture in the city of light. Attracting hundreds of thousands of visitors each year, Nuit Blanche sees countless Paris galleries, museums, city halls, and even swimming pools open their doors all night to visitors-- with free entry. Elaborate light installations, edgy performances, concerts, and unclassifiable happenings of all sorts await.

This year for the first time, the banks of the Seine river, from Maison de la Radio in the city's west to the eastern suburb of Ivry, will be transformed for the occasion of Nuit Blanche. Installations will be concentrated on the banks but also further inland. Drifting and zig-zagging is highly encouraged this year.

 
“NuitBlanche is best experienced by ambling. You might choose a couple must-see events and leave the remainder of the evening to chance. Treat Nuit Blanche with the avant garde spirit it represents, and remember, you, too, are part of the happening.”

There is an official website HERE to help plan an itinerary for the night,
