The Grand Palais transforms itself into a "Palais des fêtes" for its reopening in June 2025

After partially reopening to host the fencing and taekwondo events of the Paris 2024 Olympic Games, the Grand Palais has closed its doors, not to reopen to the public until June 6, 2025. Didier Fusillier, currently president of the Réunion des Musées Nationaux-Grand Palais (RMN-GP) and in charge of overseeing the renovation of the Grand Palais, said on Monday morning that the Grand Palais would become a "Palais des fêtes" where it would be good to "get lost", "without even knowing what you might find there".
