Paris is well known for its art scene and remarkable architecture. However, this upcoming weekend, travelers can become part of the art work in Paris by taking part of Nuit Blanche.
Nuit Blanche, or White Night, is the ninth annual all-night contemporary art festival that will take place this weekend, according to the New York Times.
The events will happen in three main locations, the Trocadero and Alma, the Marais and Ile de le Cite, and Oberkamf. There will be free public transportation available, and the Metro will even be open later, according to the news source.
An estimated 150 art projects will pop up around the city, including several interactive installations. Head over to the Hotel de Ville to see a projection on the building of a painting by Michelangelo Pistoletto, or watch a dance performance in the courtyard of Ecole Nationale Superieure des Beaux-Arts that is inspired by kisses.
“The night is a moment of sensibility, intimacy, strangeness and the unexpected, where anything is possible," Martin Bethenod, artistic director of this year’s event, told the news source.
The best way to explore Paris is with a small adventure travel group.
