For more than 20 years, Nuit Blanche has been celebratingcontemporary art for one very special evening. Art leaves the museums and comes to us, thanks to a host of events organized in the streets, monuments and emblematic venues of the capital.
An event that takes place in Paris, but not only there... And with good reason: a number of communes in theParis region are also taking part, with various installations, or even museums that have decided on a specific program for the evening.
And theEssonne department is no exception to the rule, offering a variety of special events and visits to towns and cities throughout the region. And if you want to cross a few borders, you can try your luck in the surrounding area, to see if the program of events in neighboring départements appeals to you more.
