January 1, 2025: museums and monuments in Paris open on the first public holiday of the year

You celebrated the New Year with a bang, in a restaurant, a dance club, on a barge or in a theater... You've kissed your nearest and dearest, sent your best wishes to your entire repertoire, and even made some good resolutions for the year 2025. More sport, less alcohol, try new activities, discover a new country, reread the entire works of Proust...

What if your good resolution was to spend more time in the art and culture venues of Paris and theÎle-de-France region? You can even start this Wednesday, by taking advantage of the museums and monuments open in the capital on January 1st.

What do you mean, museums and monuments open on January 1, 2025? Yes, they do! It's even a tradition for some: to get the New Year off to a good start, visit the few museums and monuments open on January 1. It's a good idea for Parisians and visitors to the capital: you won't see many people in the museum aisles, and you'll enjoy the works on display even more!

So it's decided: this Wednesday, January 1, 2025, we're getting out of bed or off the sofa, and heading off to discover the beautiful museums and monuments that are opening up to us. Follow the guide!
