Your evening plans could be adjusted... In Paris this Wednesday, 21 October 2026, cinemas, theatres, escape rooms and other leisure venues located in the zones hit by the 11 p.m.–6 a.m. curfew may move forward or cancel their late shows to ensure visitors can leave before the restrictions kick in. Want to know whether your night out is affected? We’re here to help you get a clear answer.
Forum des images — Closure, scheduled for Wednesday, October 21 at 8 p.m., has been cancelled. The screening of Michal Marczak's documentary, which was to be followed by a Q&A with the film team, will not take place. On its official page, Forum des Images confirms the session cannot go ahead due to an order from the police prefecture.
This cancellation applies to a specific session: it does not amount to a general closure of the Forum des images. For another cinema, a concert, or a theater performance, check the venue’s published information and the emails sent to the address you used when booking. The closure of a metro station does not mean your outing is cancelled.
Other venues located within the curfew zones may cut short or move forward their late sessions, including cinemas, escape rooms and leisure venues, if visitors leave after 11 p.m.. These changes must be confirmed on a case-by-case basis: contact the venue directly to find out whether your session is kept, rescheduled, or cancelled, taking into account the end time of the activity and the time needed to leave the affected area. If a change occurs, the terms for postponement or refunds should be communicated to you (otherwise, you may need to request them).
When a paid event is canceled by the organizer, the ticket price should, in principle, be refunded. The process may go through the original point of sale or a dedicated form. Follow the instructions issued for your event, including the deadline and the documents to be submitted. Also request a detailed breakdown of the refunded amounts, including how fees charged at purchase are handled.
If the event is postponed, check whether your ticket remains valid for the new date and what refund options are available. If the performance is simply moved up to an earlier time, contact the box office promptly if you can’t make the new schedule. Keep the notice of the change and the seller’s response.
A inability to travel does not automatically grant a refund for a performance that remains scheduled. Submit a written request to the seller, detailing the restriction that applies to you, along with any available supporting documents. The sales terms, any applicable goodwill measure, and the guarantees of your cancellation insurance will determine the options offered.
For a show scheduled on a fixed date, online purchases do not entitle you to the fourteen-day withdrawal period, as the DGCCRF reminds us. Keep your ticket, the order confirmation, proof of payment, and any correspondence with the ticket office: these documents will help you track your request or challenge a rejection.
