November has a bad reputation... The days are getting shorter, the weather is ugly, the Christmas vacations still seem a long way off: in short, November is rarely the French people's favorite month. It's time to do something about this unloved month! There are no 36 solutions: get out and about, and take advantage of all the cultural activities on offer in Paris and the Ile-de-France region.
And what better way to boost morale and rekindle the flame than with a beautiful exhibition? To travel through time or around the Earth, to meet the world's greatest artists, to discover unusual worlds, to have fun, to learn, to dream, to escape... There's only one place where you can do all these things: museums!
Museums, castles, foundations, galleries, art venues: there's no shortage of options for art and culture lovers. Perhaps the hardest part will be choosing among all the fantastic exhibitions awaiting us in November 2024.
Without further ado, here's your November travel guide...
