The Parc de l'étrange 2025 is coming to Paris, with Halloween taking over Parc André Citroën.

For its second edition, the Parc de l'Étrange is leaving the Domaine National de Saint-Cloud and moving to the heart of Paris. After last year's success, which attracted nearly 60,000 visitors to the Paris suburbs, the event is setting up shop at Parc André Citroën in the 15th arrondissement for a version that promises to be even more spectacular and accessible. From October 24 to November 1, 2025, ghosts, witches, and other creatures of the night will take over this iconic location in the capital to celebrate Halloween in a family-friendly yet spine-tingling atmosphere.

The tour immerses us completely in the worldof Halloween. Over nearly 1.3 kilometers, we will discover13 entirely new worlds with decorations that transform the park into a garden of horror. At the center of this spectacular setting, a chapel surrounded by a cemetery with 30 graves and around 20 animated crosses makes quite an impression. It's enough to make you feel like you're in a horror movie, except that here, you might encounter the dead rising from the ground.

The young artistic director Gary Saint-Paul, only 23 years old, has designed this 2025 edition with the ambition of preserving the family spirit that proved so popular last year. But this time, he has also thought of the more courageous visitors with anarea dedicated to thrills and chills. In this morbid space, the characters do not hesitate to follow visitors to scare them and disrupt their visit. 

This new edition goes all out to impress. More than 1,500 lights and special effects transform the Parc André Citroën into the colors ofHalloween. And the cast includes a host of actors playing the roles of the macabre clown, the evil doll, the executioner, the witches, the white lady and the zombies. Each plays his or her part with conviction, immersing us in the atmosphere of a French fête des morts.

The tour ends on a high note with three fireworks displays scheduled each evening. Times vary depending on the date, with shows at 8 p.m., 9 p.m., and 10 p.m. on October 24 and 25, then from 7 p.m. to 10 p.m. from October 26 to 30, and finally up to six shows on the special evenings of October 31 and November 1. We recommend arriving at dusk to fully enjoy the magical atmosphere of the venue.

Our opinion

This tour is ideal for families. The decorations are worth the trip, and you'll have a great time if you're a fan of light effects and electric atmospheres. You can even treat yourself to some tasty treats at the end of the tour, and the fireworks provide a pleasant end to the evening. If you're looking for thrills, we applaud the efforts made in the brave zone, which is better than last year. While it may scare children, it didn't really faze us. However, we did like the scenography and the pretty scenes that had been set up.
