Poster for Nuit Blanche 2025 by Michel Gondry
Le Marais is preparing to experience a Nuit Blanche 2025 that's as electric as it is eclectic. Starting at 7 p.m. on Saturday, June 18, the neighborhood will offer a free, borderless stroll featuring contemporary art, concerts, immersive installations, and unusual performances.
In the Marais, Nuit Blanche is not just an event: it is a manifesto, an invitation to reinvent the city, to experience it differently, for one night when everything becomes possible.
The program gives pride of place to the iconic institutions of the Marais. The Picasso Museum opens its doors for a festive evening, combining visits, concerts and DJ sets in the heart of the masterpieces of the Spanish master.
At the Musée des Arts et Métiers, installations and artistic trails engage in a dialogue with the industrial heritage, while the Maison Victor Hugo offers a poetic immersion into the night of butterflies, blending literature and visual arts. The National Archives transform their gardens into a space for interactive experimentation, and the Swedish Institute invites visitors to a unique sound experience in the courtyard of its private mansion.
Nuit Blanche 2025 also includes open-air film screenings, free concerts at the Notre-Dame des Blancs-Manteaux church, dance performances at the Musée Cognacq-Jay , and a light installation on Île Saint-Louis. The Halle des Blancs-Manteaux pulsates to the rhythm of a symphonic concert that transforms into a techno-trance-Latin party, proving that the Marais district knows how to blend avant-garde art with popular celebration.
