Let's be honest, since the end of May, we've been a bit deprived of holidays. And unfortunately, the first day of November is quite frustrating since it falls on a Saturday. Nonetheless, it's still a holiday, and it's always nice to have! So to help you plan your day, let's take a look at the monuments and museums that are ready to welcome you.

Well, we all know that tonight is Halloween, and for many of us, the night will mean wild dance battles with witches and shot contests (of blood, of course) with vampires. Tomorrow, Saturday, November 1st, which is All Saints' Day, many people will likely be a bit slow-moving. But hey, when you’re a bit tired, what better than a peaceful day to appreciate culture?


A holiday that’s not quite a holiday

Well, we have some very good news that might make our lives a lot easier: generally, on this Saturday, November 1, 2025, everything will be open in the capital. As stated on the City of Paris website, all municipal museums will be accessible during their usual hours tomorrow, except for the Mu...

seat of Romantic Life, under construction for several months and until March 2026.

This day will be a wonderful opportunity to enjoy amazing exhibitions, such as the one dedicated to the profiles of Parisians between 1926 and 1936 at the Carnavalet Museum, the incredible exhibition on the portrait artist John Singer Sargent at Orsay, or the moving retrospective Soulages at the Musée du Luxembourg. And for those who are a bit tired, we're going to take a stroll over to the Musée Marmottan Monet for a wonderful exhibition on sleep.


A Comprehensive List

To make your life easier, we've decided not to give you a list as long as your arm of all the cultural institutions opening their doors tomorrow, but rather to share with you a shorter list of those who unfortunately will not be accessible. This Saturday, November 1st, the musée de la Chasse et de la Nature will be closed, as it is every public holiday, along with the musée Nissim de Camondo, the musée de la Vie Romantique, the musée Yves Saint-Laurent, and the Centre Pompidou, all closed.The 4 currently closed for renovations have no connection whatsoever with the 1st of November.
