October is when Paris turns up the cultural heat, with a cascade of world-class events, all topped off by Art Basel, the crown jewel of art fairs. This year, for the first time, the event will be held in the magnificent Grand Palais, freshly reopened after years of restoration—a venue almost as impressive as the art itself.
To make sure you don’t miss a thing, the P.ART.iculaire team has crafted a jam-packed, three-day itinerary (October 18–20) that combines the absolute must-sees and some very exclusive moments. This isn’t just a tour; it’s your all-access pass to Paris’ art scene, with a bit of indulgence thrown in for good measure.
