For a successful weekend, head for the Musée du Louvre! Every Friday, the world's most visited museum is open in the evening, from 6pm to 9:45pm, for an exceptional visiting experience after dark. It's the perfect way to discover or rediscover the museum's varied collections, and to take part in activities for the whole family , including magic, yoga and dance! And every first Friday of the month, the nocturne is free, so make the most of it!

These Parcours Off allow visitors to take part in surprising disciplines or try their hand at little-known skills, in the heart of the Parisian temple of art, surrounded by centuries-old works. Are you more interested in relaxing with a yoga class, or in using your fingers to make a feather object with a feather worker, or in being an artist with a sketching class, or a magician with magic tricks and mentalism? So many areas to try out to get the weekend off to a great start!

It's an unusual way to make the Louvre your own, but don't forget to book your slot, as night-time events are always in great demand! You'll be able to take advantage of the opportunity to wander through the various exhibitions on view, which are sure to fill you with wonder.
