After more than two months without a public holiday, we're finally enjoying another day of rest. On November 1, 2025, we celebrate All Saints' Day, the day of remembrance for all those who have passed away. Traditionally, families visit cemeteries to honor their loved ones and offer flowers to the departed.
After this spiritual stroll, Parisians and Ile-de-France residents can take advantage of the many events and rendezvous organized in the Paris region. This holiday is a great opportunity to spend time with the family and explore the capital and the surrounding communes.
Historic monuments and museums, restaurants, parks and gardens, games and arts and crafts: children and parents have fun and enjoy the activities that bring Paris and its region to life every day.
So what can the family do on this November holiday? After the greatHalloween festivities, it's time for a change of mood, and a few seasonal outings. Take a look at our suggestions for outings, and book your next adventures in Paris and the Ile-de-France region!
