To make sure you have a good time, we advise you to take a stroll near the places hosting the most beautiful exhibitions of the moment.
Where can you find these exhibitions? To help you plan your next outing in Paris, in March 2026, we've put together a small selection of the best exhibitions to see in Paris this month. Fashion, photography, science, literary figures or modern art, free exhibitions, exhibitions for children... There's something for everyone.
And if the weather's fine for the whole month? Then it's great: you can walk to the museum and visit the exhibition of your choice without getting wet! All's well that ends well... So, which exhibition are we going to see this month, in rain boots or flowery sandals? All you have to do is choose from our selection.
