You'll be glad to know that here at Bonbon, we absolutely love Nuit Blanche. For an entire evening, animations and artistic performances light up the capital, creating a connection between artists and the public. It’s a night of festivities, celebrations, and, overall, fun. The perfect moment to fill your eyes with wonder and fully enjoy the cultural richness of France. And this year, as a cherry on top, to promote eco-friendly mobility and respect for the planet (go little planet, rock on!), the city has decided to go all out by offering free Vélib's all night long!
Culture around every corner
This year, the Nuit Blanche program is packed with excitement. For this 24th edition, the City of Paris is making a splash by showcasing dreams, imagination, and...and creativity, through a distinctly cinematic aesthetic. Starting from 5 PM and lasting until the break of dawn — or even until the early morning — you can enjoy a dozen of grand official installations and performances carefully selected by Valérie Donzelli, this year's artistic director, as well as over 200 events happening throughout the rest of Paris and the entire Grand Paris. So, a unique evening that transforms the capital and its surroundings into an open-air museum.

The Perfect Evening at Every Level
And the good news for those who want to fully enjoy the evening and soak up as much culture as possible is that throughout the event, in addition to the traditional metros and RER (which unfortunately won't be doing overtime) and the Noctilien, you can benefit from 100% free Vélib' all night long, wherever they are available. That means you can pedal at leisure through the streets of Paris, but also in all the cities of Greater Paris, without any restrictions on the number of Vélib'! To do this, just go to the Vélib' website or app, select the "Vélib' Ticket-V" option, and use the code “MGP2025.” As easy as pie! A fantastic idea, don't you think, that should make your evening even better! to make this evening even more beautiful.
