The Monnaie de Paris stands as a must-visit cultural landmark in the city.

The museum is also renowned for its striking architecture: housed in the Hôtel de la Monnaie, an 18th-century building situated along the Seine in the 6th arrondissement, offering a true feast for those passionate about heritage and history.

Discover this surprising venue during an unconventional nocturnal tour. Venture into the heart of the institution where our currency is produced with a flashlight tour, scheduled for January 21, February 4 and 18, and March 4 and 11, 2026, starting at 7:30 PM.

Embark on a timeless tour to discover the architecture of the Monnaie de Paris, designed by Jacques-Denis Antoine when it was built in 1775. Since then - and still today - the Monnaie de Paris has been manufacturing coins in a building that also happens to be a historic manufactory. On site, you'll discover not only a foundry, but also a large number of ancient coins and other collector items, carefully preserved in the building.

By the light of flashlights, architectural details and peculiarities come to the fore, for a timeless stroll. Mansion, factory, museum: all the lives and missions of La Monnaie de Paris are revealed through the collections and architectural choices that have transformed the building over the centuries.

This special visit is an opportunity to (re)discover the institution in a new light, and to enjoy a privileged moment, one-on-one with the works.
