The garden of the Archives Nationales is taking part in this 21st edition of Nuit Blanche à Paris, this Saturday, June 3, 2023, with a program of classical music concerts.

Nuit Blanche returns to Paris this Saturday, June 3, 2023, for a 21st edition full of surprises and festivities. Once again this year, the National Archives invites us to discover its history and buildings, while entertaining us with unexpected artistic events. This time, we'll be in the gardens of theHôtel de Soubise, for a musical and family event not to be missed.

The monument honors the Jeunes Talents collective, which celebrates its 25th anniversary this year. To mark the occasion, the association's musicians will be enchanting us with a series of concerts throughout the evening. The Jeunes talents group aims to promote young musicians and chamber music, while making classical music more accessible to all audiences.

On the program for this Nuit Blanche in the gardens of the Archives nationales:

  • JULIETTE SOMNOLET / Droit du Sol
    Du samedi 01 juin 2024 au dimanche 02 juin 2024 : samedi de 19h00 à 02h00

    Franco-américaine vivant à Berlin, diplômée de la Saint Martin's. Elle revendique un travail environnemental. Observant la nature, l'interaction des hommes avec la terre utilisant matériaux naturels et objets trouvés pour une plastique artisanale en mouvement, immersive, consciente de son empreinte.
    À ciel ouvert aux Archives Nationales, Juliette Somnolet nous invite à vivre l'automne en été, soulignant la prise d'otage de la nature par l'homme, nous immergeant dans un décor artificiel, de prothèse d’arbres et de feuilles en céramique crues craquant. Au fil de la nuit, sous les pas des visiteurs, cette œuvre modelée de terre redeviendra poussière. Offrant une lecture de notre terre, questionnant le droit et ses contradictions, une installation engagée en faveur des êtres.



A wonderful initiative, in short, to bring to life this private mansion and its gardens, located in the heart of the Marais district and built in 1371. This private mansion has been home to French constables, dukes, the Princess de Condé and other great names of the French monarchy. Since then, theHôtel de Soubise has been acquired by the State in 1867 by imperial decree and officially assigned to the Archives de l'Empire: Napoleon I had the archives, which until then had been kept in several Parisian repositories, grouped together.

Enjoy the evening, folks!
