Ghosts and witches took to the skies above Paris, zombies danced at the capital’s venues, plenty of sweets were devoured... Halloween is done, and we’re now in November. And, as always, the month opens with a public holiday. On 1 November 2026, we celebrate the All Saints’ !
This ancient festival is a spiritual day on which we honor our deceased and their lives. Today, it's customary to visit the graves of our loved ones and plant flowers in their graves.
Many Parisians also take the opportunity to get out and about, taking advantage of the holiday to discover the events organized in the capital at the beginning of November. New cinema releases, exhibitions, restaurants to try out, shopping or fun experiences, Paris is never short of outings of all kinds.
