All Saints’ Day holidays 2026 at the Monnaie de Paris: creative workshops and family-friendly tours

And what if, during the Toussaint holidays, the children became engravers, artisans or jewelry designers? From October 17 to November 1, 2026, the Monnaie de Paris, perched along the Quai de Conti in the 6e arrondissement, is offering a family program to discover the world of coins, medals and precious metals in a new way.

At the Monnaie de Paris, visitors do more than just peruse the collections — they can roll up their sleeves and get involved. The workshops let kids discover the craftspeople who work metal, engraving, and enamel. Depending on age, young visitors can make a medal, dream up a piece of jewelry, or sculpt an animal in clay. A tangible way to explore the craftsmanship of this historic institution, which still runs money-production and artistic workshops in the heart of the capital.

School holidays are also the perfect moment for a family museum day. There are toddler-friendly visits that bring the collections to life through stories, while older kids can delve into the origins of money and how it’s made.

The venue also offers guided tours to discover its heritage, its crafts, and its architecture. It’s a chance to understand how a simple metal piece can become a coin or a medal. Between museum discovery and hands-on activities, this Autumn 2026 program at the Monnaie de Paris speaks to curious kids and to parents eager to share a cultural and creative outing.
