November in Paris isn't a transition month—it’s a period of intense culture and warm festivities! As the days grow shorter, the City of Light glows brighter with essential happenings. The Hôtel des Grands Voyageurs has selected three major events to define your Parisian trip.

 

1. Photography in focus: Paris Photo and Art Salons

 

November is traditionally the month for photography. The signature event is undeniably Paris Photo at the Grand Palais (or the Grand Palais Éphémère), which brings together galleries and enthusiasts from around the globe. This is a unique opportunity to discover major works and immerse yourself in visual arts.

Our Hotel Tip: Continue your artistic exploration by visiting the major temporary exhibitions at Parisian museums (Louvre, Orsay, Centre Pompidou, etc.), which are perfect for a cozy, indoor day!

 

2. Lighting up the night: the start of Christmas Illuminations 

 

While Christmas is still a few weeks away, the magic begins in November! The Champs-Élysées and other iconic areas like the Faubourg Saint-Honoré officially launch their Christmas illuminations. A nocturnal stroll under the first twinkling garlands is a truly enchanting experience.

 

3. Cheers! The Celebration of Beaujolais Nouveau 

 

The third Thursday of November marks a national celebration: the arrival of Beaujolais Nouveau! Bars, bistros, and cellars across the capital celebrate this young wine with tastings and festive evenings. It’s an excellent way to experience the friendly and gastronomic atmosphere of Paris in the late fall.
