This Saturday, June 6, 2026, it's the Nuit Blanche in Paris and Île-de-France! For this 25th edition, dazzling installations and artistic performances await all lovers of contemporary art, offering a cultural moment off the beaten path. For one evening, art steps out of galleries and museums for the delight of Parisians and Île-de-France residents, inviting everyone to enjoy the night by discovering works in the streets, all free.
Not yet familiar with Nuit Blanche? This event was created in 2002 by the city of Paris, to celebratecontemporary art and the creators of today and tomorrow. The event quickly gained in popularity, gradually spreading to the towns and cities surrounding the capital. Today, Nuit Blanche has become a not-to-be-missed event, always full of surprises.
These surprises can be found not only in Paris, but also in other departments of the Paris region, such as Seine-et-Marne. Artists and collectives take over the streets and cultural venues of the region's major cities, for one night only.
Please note: not all towns and art venues in Seine-et-Marne take part in this celebration of contemporary art. From one year to the next, there may be no Nuit Blanche events in the department...
Note that if the département is not taking part this year, you can still take a look at the activities on offer in Paris or the inner suburbs, depending on the cities taking part in the event.
