Culture in the region Paris - Île de France

The cultural offer in Paris - Île de France is huge. Under the new name "Le Nouveau Paris Île-de-France", an extensive programme of events has been created in which you can find numerous exhibitions, concerts, theatres and musicals. Be sure to find out about upcoming events well in advance of your trip, as tickets usually sell out very quickly. But there are also many permanent exhibitions that can be visited all year round, some of which have been around for decades or centuries. The Moulin Rouge, for example, has been performing its French cabaret almost every evening since 1889, and at the National Opera you can attend various opera and ballet performances since the end of the 18th century. If you are looking for a cheaper alternative, we recommend the Max Linder Panorama Cinema, one of the many cinemas near the Boulevard des Capucines, where the world's first public film screening took place.
