Paris Nuit Blanche

by Lynn on October 1st, 2007

Nuit Blanche 2007If you’re thinking of coming to Paris soon, then you’re right in time for this year’s Nuit Blanche which takes place October 6! “Nuit blanche” (white night) is an expression meaning, “staying up all night.” More often than not it’s used in the context of “partying all night.” I mean, come on, we’re in Paris afterall, but it’s for any reason that keeps you awake all night long.

Nuit BlancheThis is the sixth year that Paris is putting on a Nuit Blanche and just like the Fête de la Musique, what began in Paris, has once again taken off and has now been duplicated around the world! It’s a perfect opportunity to see Paris in an entirely different perspective where things stay open all night long until the next morning.  If you’ve never seen Paris at dawn, then this is a great time to do it!

Nuit BlancheTheaters, music groups, and hundreds of artists will open up their workplaces for you to see; even the Louvre will extend their hours! Entrance to the Louvre will be free from 18h until 23h45 to celebrate Nuit Blanche. The Tuileries will also be lit up by 2000 small flames in the center of the gardens.

Nuit BlancheThis year’s Nuit Blanche route will cut across Paris using Métro line 14 as a guide, and will be running all night long (free after regular hours). Free shuttle buses as well as the batobus will also be running until morning, not to mention restaurants, bars, cafés and shops which will stay open all night along the route.

So, get out and party the night away! Believe me, it’ll be a great night to be out in Paris! For more information visit their website, Nuit Blanche.
