‘The White Night Festival’ offers free visits to museums, art galleries, and other cultural institutions. It was launched in 2002 and the concept of the festival came from ‘Jean Blaise’, who founded the ‘Research Center for Cultural Development’ in Nantes, France, in 1984. Several years later Nantes became one of the renovating cultural city in France, establishing a "contemporary patrimony", which led Blaise to create a late-night cultural festival, "Les Allumées" (The Lighted Up). His concept was to have an arts festival in Nantes, 6 p.m. till 6 a.m., over six years with artists from six cities.
In 2021, ‘La Nuit Blanche’ will play host to all facets of contemporary art and offer a new view of the city. Artist will propose installations, exhibitions, concerts performances, trails, staged scene sets all over the city! If you would like to experience unique ambiance and be enraptured by art and music, visit Paris - a city that never sleeps and enjoy the city like true Parisians!
‘La Nuit Blanche’ (White Night) is an “all-night arts festival” in Paris, held every year from 7pm till 7am on the first Saturday in October. During this one night, Paris blossoms into a breathtaking venue for art installations, performances (music, dance, film, literature, art & design), themed social gatherings, and many more artistic activities.
