Hansel & Gretel drop in at the Paradox Museum Paris for a fairy-tale adventure

And what if your next outing in Paris could lead you through a larger-than-life, mouthwatering tale?

From May to July 2026, Le Paradox Museum, ideally nestled in the heart of Paris, in the 9th arrondissement, just steps from the Opéra district and the Grands Magasins, reimagines part of its route as an immersive adventure inspired by Hansel & Gretel to celebrate the Parisian birthday of Hans & Gretel.

Designed for families, kids, the curious, tourists and fans of illusions, this temporary program blends interactive museum, scavenger hunt, enchanted sets, puzzles, photo moments and sweet treats.

An immersive Hansel & Gretel experience in the heart of Paris

From the moment you step in, visitors are invited to enter an enchanted forest imagined as the starting point of a living tale.
The route then takes the form of a labyrinth of riddles, where young and old alike follow in the footsteps of Hansel and Gretel toward the witch’s mysterious house.
Picture yourself moving from room to room, hunting for clues, watching the illusions, smiling at the sets, and wondering if your eyes are playing tricks on you.
That’s the promise of Paradox Museum Paris, which here adds a narrative and sensory dimension to its usual experience.
The museum thus becomes a playground where you can have fun, observe, search and photograph memories to share.

Throughout the celebration, a variety of activities will punctuate the visit.
Each day, gold tickets are hidden in the museum, with Hans & Gretel goodies to be won by the visitors who find them.
As you go along, you may also meet characters drawn from the fairy-tale world, to heighten the sense of walking through a story come to life.

Interactive storytelling sessions are also on the schedule to involve the kids and extend the magic, on Wednesday afternoons and Sunday mornings.
If you’ve ever dreamed of living a fairy tale without leaving Paris, the experience checks all the boxes for a playful, participative outing.

A delectable interlude from Hans & Gretel, with a nod to the evening openings
