All aboard the Vedettes de Paris!

Forget the haunted houses and the scary monsters: this year, Halloween goes big in Paris!

For three days, the Vedettes de Paris will welcome a quirky character: a real pirate will meet visitors. You’ll need to keep your eyes peeled: the pirate could appear at any moment to chat with children, pose for a photo, or simply add a touch of thrills to your stroll along the Seine.

An activity designed for kids, but sure to entertain parents as well. After all, who hasn't dreamed of running into a pirate in the very heart of Paris?

What if the little deckhands had their faces painted?

To cap off the adventure, a makeup artist will also be on hand. Kids can get Halloween-themed face paint and slip into their best little pirate outfits before heading off on the adventure.

Makeup will be offered exclusively to Vedettes de Paris guests during the event (2 p.m.–6 p.m.). A simple way to turn a family outing into a real Halloween keepsake!

A Halloween vibe all through the All Saints' Day holidays

Good news for those who can’t make it on Thursday the 29th, Friday the 30th, or Saturday the 31st of October: the Halloween vibe is sticking around longer at Vedettes de Paris!

The sets will be on display from Friday, October 16 to Monday, November 2, 2026, spanning the entire All Saints’ Day holiday period. It’s a chance to come and discover the scenery, snap a few photos, and soak up the pirate atmosphere during your visit.

And with the Seine, the Eiffel Tower, and Paris's quays in the background, you can’t get more Parisian for a Halloween outing!
