Paris Design Week 2026: Must-visit spots in the Marais

Published by Audrey de Sortiraparis · Photos by Audrey de Sortiraparis · Updated on September 7, 2026 at 11:51 p.m.
During Paris Design Week, the Marais will host a substantial portion of the itinerary, with installations set up in private mansions, discreet courtyards, and several of the neighborhood’s cultural venues, from September 10 to 19, 2026.

Each fall, Paris Design Week brings design to every corner of Paris—from galleries to institutions, studios, and heritage venues. The new edition runs September 10–19, 2026 and invites visitors to discover new names, original installations, and fresh approaches to materials, objects, and spaces. No need to be a furniture expert to enjoy it: the route unfolds by neighborhood, guided by your interests, curiosities, and the pleasant surprises you encounter along the way.

In the Marais, the visit takes on a new rhythm. Hôtels particuliers, cobbled courtyards, gardens and cultural institutions host installations that converse with the history of the place and sometimes reveal another facet. Here, design slips into the heritage, reinterprets an use, highlights a detail or catches the eye where you wouldn’t expect. The neighborhood lends itself especially well to this, with its passageways, old façades and cultural venues just minutes apart. A string of discoveries to follow through the streets, between ancient stones and contemporary creations, without turning the stroll into a scavenger hunt or feeling like you’re doing the same tour twice.
