Visitors to the Grand Palais will have to postpone their visit this Saturday, October 24, 2026. In light of demonstrations announced in Paris, the venue in the 8th arrondissement has announced that it will be closed all day, including its exhibitions. The Grand Palais confirmed the decision on its official Instagram account: even with a reservation, visitors will not be able to visit the galleries on Saturday.
This closure notably affects Cezanne and Us, on display in Galleries 3 and 4. The exhibition brings together nearly 180 works to tell the story of Paul Cezanne’s influence on several generations of artists, including Matisse, Picasso and Joan Mitchell. Those who were planning to see it this weekend can consider another date: it is scheduled to run through January 17, 2027.
Moving your visit up to Friday also means changing your schedule. For “Cezanne et nous,” the late opening on Friday, October 23, will be cut short: the galleries will close at 7:30 p.m. instead of 10 p.m., with last entry at 6 p.m., according to the exhibition’s official page. Visitors will therefore need to arrive earlier to have time to explore the galleries.
The closure announcement does not specify how tickets will be refunded or exchanged. If you had booked for Saturday, check the emails sent by your ticket seller, including your spam folder. If no instructions have been provided, contact your point of sale to find out what solution is being offered for your booking. Before choosing a new date, check the latest information posted on the Grand Palais official website.
