Demonstrations, rallies, and nationwide strike action: this October 2, 2025 in France, citizens are expected to take to the streets to protest against the policies of Emmanuel Macron and the government. Following the call of several unions, many French people are abandoning their jobs to demand better living and working conditions, and to protect their rights.
This major social movement is causing some disruption to private companies and public services: on October 2, 2025, schools, trains and public transport, health centers and pharmacies are particularly affected by the strikes. But they're not the only ones: museums and monuments are also affected.
This is particularly true of the Gustave Moreau museum in Paris, which is exceptionally closed this Thursday, October 2. On its website, the Parisian museum states: " A labor movement is currently underway within the museum, leading to occasional and unpredictable periods of closure. To be sure that the museum will be open, we invite you to consult the museum's website before coming or to call the museum on 01 83 62 78 72. "
Please note, therefore, that the museum is closed on the day of the strike, but that this unscheduled closure may be extended depending on the duration of the industrial action.
