When you're young, you don't have much money. But that doesn't stop us from enjoying the museums in Paris: the last Tuesday of each month, you can visit the Jeu de Paume for free!

What do you mean, you don't know the Musée du Jeu de Paume? That's an error of good taste, but one that can easily be rectified, rest assured. Yes, the good news is that the Jeu de Paume opens its doors to young people under 25 and students free of charge on the last Tuesday of every month. Simply show your ID or student card and enjoy all that this Parisian museum has to offer!

But what does the Jeu de Paume museum hide behind its high walls? This museum is located in the heart of Paris, between the Tuileries Gardens and Place de la Concorde. It is dedicated to contemporary creation in photography and image. Contemporary artists from France and around the world are regularly showcased through exhibitions, meetings, symposia, workshops, film cycles...

The museum's agenda is therefore very full: there's always something to open your mind. Ideal for art lovers in search of new discoveries!

To our delight, the museum also boasts a bookshop and a café-terrasse. The latter, run by Rose Bakery, overlooks the octagonal basin of the Tuileries, so you can take a gourmet break and enjoy the view. As for the bookshop, it offers a wide selection of books on the visual arts, photography and cinema.

In short, curious young people, you haven't got a moment to lose: take advantage of the free open house and get to know this museum!
