Christmas, New Year, Valentine's Day, birthdays... There's no doubt about it: thewinter season is costly! But there's no reason why we shouldn't go out for three months. And you don't have to: there are plenty of free exhibitions to see from December 21, 2024 to March 20, 2025! In Paris and the Ile-de-France region, museums, art galleries, foundations and other cultural spaces are offering us a lovely program to discover without moderation.
All the same, what a pleasure it is to live in and around the capital. Even in the darkest months of the year, our daily lives are brightened by these free or inexpensive outings. Paintings, sculptures, photographs, art installations or performances: art lives in Paris all year round.
It's decided: armed with our beanie and scarf, we'll brave the winter chill to enjoy these free exhibitions. But before you go, take your pick from this selection of things to do now and in the weeks to come. We've got plenty of good ideas for a great season in Paris and the Ile-de-France region!
