These All Saints' Day vacations 2025 in Paris and the Ile-de-France region are just around the corner, with a fine selection of unusual outings to discover from October 18 to November 3. It's the perfect time to let go and indulge in original activities that make a welcome change from the monotony of everyday life. Autumn transforms the capital and its surroundings into a veritable playground, where mystery and wonder mingle with the shimmering colors of the season.
Gone are the rainy Sundays spent in circles around the apartment, or the umpteenth games of Monopoly that end in family drama. Paris and the surrounding region have more than one trick up their sleeves for these two well-deserved weeks of rest. Whether you're into shivering in haunted forests, marvelling at light shows or getting lost in immersive exhibitions, there's something for everyone. It's an opportunity to rediscover the region from a completely different angle, far from the classic tourist circuits that always revolve around the same monuments.
Let's face it,autumn is the ideal season for this kind of getaway. Temperatures remain mild, you can still enjoy the outdoors without turning into an icicle, and that special late-October ambience, with its shortening days and golden lights, creates an almost magical atmosphere. Perfect for outings with family and friends that are out of the ordinary. You'll get caught up in the game, dare to cross scary paths, let yourself be carried away by surprising artistic installations, and leave with memories far more lasting than the umpteenth visit to a classic museum.
