August in Paris is all about idleness. We hang out in the sunshine and parks, we hang out on terraces, but above all, we hang out in museums, letting ourselves be enveloped by the gentle beauty of the works that surround us. It's also a good way to get out of the heat and enjoy milder indoor temperatures.
To vary the pleasures a little, we suggest you visit all the exhibitions being organized this summer in the capital and Île-de-France. Contemporary art, impressionists, sculptors, photographers, immersive exhibitions... Where to start?
