On June 2, 2026, the Nef of the Grand Palais will once again transform into a vast open-air stage for the second edition of the Grand Palais of Summer. Theater, dance, concerts, performances: for two whole months, this landmark will become a space for collective experiences, discoveries, and grand celebrations. French and international artists will reinvent their shows especially for this unique venue in the heart of Paris. And to extend the magic every evening, the light installation Ciels by the Visual System collective will enhance the Grand Palais's glass roof with a monumental and immersive visual creation, playing with the building's structure, colors, and light intensity.
