Jérôme Zonder — Portraits du Paradis
Galerie Nathalie Obadia, Paris 4e
Until July 24, 2026
Until July 24, 2026
Jérôme Zonder works exclusively in graphite and charcoal — no colour, no shortcuts.
His large-scale drawings carry the weight of old master portraits but land squarely in the present. Figures borrowed from Les Enfants du Paradis, bodies saturated with archive, cinema and digital noise.
Quiet, rigorous, arresting.
Alioune Diagne — Saytu
Galerie Templon, Paris Beaubourg
Until July 18, 2026
Until July 18, 2026
Alioune Diagne is a Senegalese painter whose canvases negotiate between memory and abstraction, between the Atlantic and the Seine.
Saytu means “to exist” in Wolof. The title earns its weight. This was one of the most compelling gallery shows of the season.
ABCDays — Art Books + Music
Topographie de l’art, Le Marais
July 3–24, 2026
July 3–24, 2026
Fifteen European publishers of artist books and experimental music labels converge in a space that has always understood that the printed page is a medium, not a carrier.
Opening July 3. Free and open to all.

Re-Situ Recommends: Shabour
19 rue Saint-Sauveur, 75002 Paris
Assaf Granit’s Michelin-starred address is tucked between rue Saint-Denis and rue Montorgueil — ten minutes from the gallery district.
Not a restaurant: a sensory proposition. The menu shifts constantly. Book ahead and go with no expectations.

23 rue Ramponeau, 75020 Paris
July 2–12, 2026 · Free
Forty artists. Twenty-one collaborations. Ten years of Curry Vavart’s residency model.
This anniversary show was not a retrospective. It was a living argument for what artist-run spaces can actually do.
Guided tours were scheduled for Saturday July 4 and July 11 at 2pm. Free entry.
Roadmap 2
Colors Festival
Neuilly-sur-Marne, Seine-Saint-Denis · Free
Neuilly-sur-Marne, Seine-Saint-Denis · Free
Fourteen artists take over an abandoned 1950s house.
The theme is memory. The walls, ceilings and floors are the medium. Cross the périphérique. Worth every minute of the RER ride.

Re-Situ Recommends: Le Baratin
3 rue Jouye-Rouve, 75020 Paris
Raquel Carena’s kitchen has been Belleville’s best-kept secret for thirty years — except it is not a secret anymore to anyone who reads Condé Nast or Eater.
Still, it feels like one.
Natural wine, a blackboard menu, no fuss and no decor to speak of. Lunch only on weekdays. Arrive early.
Les Immanquables
Matisse, 1941–1954
Grand Palais
Until July 26, 2026
Until July 26, 2026
A painter in his seventies, bedridden, reinventing everything with scissors and paper.
The cut-outs are here. So is the silence behind them.
Last days.
Animalia — Al Thani Collection
Hôtel de la Marine
Until January 10, 2027
Until January 10, 2027
Over 120 objects from four continents, spanning 5,000 years, united by one obsession: the animal.
One of Paris’s most spectacular addresses. The building alone is worth the detour.
Hilma af Klint — Paintings for the Temple
Grand Palais
Until August 30, 2026
Until August 30, 2026
Before Kandinsky, before Mondrian: vast, visionary canvases made in secret for a temple that was never built.
Seeing them at Grand Palais scale is one of those rare experiences that shifts something permanently.
Clair-Obscur
Bourse de Commerce — Pinault Collection
Until August 24, 2026
Until August 24, 2026
From Caravaggio to Pierre Huyghe, 100 works trace the way darkness has shaped the Western imagination.
A summer exhibition with the weight of winter.

Re-Situ Recommends: Le Minipalais
3 avenue Winston Churchill, 75008 Paris
Inside the Grand Palais itself, behind the colonnades, Le Minipalais is a vast imperial brasserie open from 10am to 2am, with one of the finest terraces in central Paris.
The right place to sit with what you have just seen — over a glass of something white and cold — and let the afternoon extend.
A Paris That Reveals Itself Slowly
No two cities reveal themselves the same way twice.
Neither will this one.
