Summer 2025 in Paris: An Unforgettable Stay of Culture and Light
Posted in "Paris" le
Summer months in Paris are synonymous with strolls, music, and convivial moments. According to Paris Je t’aime, many activities are not to be missed: wandering along the Seine, discovering Paris Plages, attending free festivals (choirs, jazz, open-air cinema), and enjoying sunny terraces.
The booksellers along the riverbanks, summer exhibitions in museums, and lively evenings in Belleville or Vincennes round out the cultural offerings.
For your clients, Hotel Queen Mary is ideally located to enjoy all these experiences, with quick access to public transportation and personalized suggestions at the reception.
Major Cultural Highlights of Summer 2025
Until August 3, 2025, the Jacquemart-André Museum is showcasing Artemisia Gentileschi, a major figure of Baroque art and the Caravaggesque movement. With essential masterpieces and rarely exhibited works in Paris, this exhibition offers a fresh perspective on a great 17th-century Italian artist. Located just a few minutes’ walk from Hotel Queen Mary, this museum is a must-see on your cultural itinerary.
Another key summer venue: the Louis Vuitton Foundation, nestled in the Bois de Boulogne, features a rich program of contemporary and modern art exhibitions throughout the season. Check their schedule regularly to catch major artists, often in Parisian premieres.
Until January 11, 2026, the Arab World Institute invites you to explore The Mystery of Cleopatra, a landmark exhibition dedicated to Egypt’s last queen. Rare objects, reconstructions, and historical documents shed light on this mythical figure, where history meets legend.
And until September 8, 2025, the Guimet Museum of Asian Arts presents the Royal Bronzes of Angkor in a fascinating exhibition. A highlight of this journey into sacred Khmer art: the monumental reclining Vishnu statue from Western Mebon, presented for the first time in a spectacular scenographic display.
The Triumphant Return of the Tuileries Cauldron
Until September 14, 2025, the iconic cauldron once again lights up the Tuileries Gardens, in the heart of central Paris. Each evening at sunset, it rises 60 meters into the air, suspended by a tethered airship. Until 2 a.m., it illuminates the Seine and Place de la Concorde, becoming a true nighttime spectacle.
To admire it, head to one of five iconic viewing spots: the Pont de la Concorde, the octagonal basin, the Champs-Élysées Garden, the upper banks of the Seine, or the terrace of the Musée de l’Orangerie.
