Until September 20, 2026
62 rue des Archives, 75003 Paris
Until September 20, 2026
More than 80 works in fifteen rooms — major installations, emblematic pieces and new works woven into the museum’s extraordinary collections of taxidermy and hunting artefacts.
Animality becomes a mirror of human passion: the beast that haunts us, parodies us and reveals us.
Annette Messager won the Golden Lion at Venice in 2005. This exhibition, in one of Paris’s most singular buildings, is the right place for her bestiary.
Danh Vō — Summer Show
Galerie Marian Goodman
79 rue du Temple, 75003 Paris
Until August 2, 2026
79 rue du Temple, 75003 Paris
Until August 2, 2026
Danh Vō works with fragments — of history, of objects and of identity.
This summer presentation takes place at one of Paris’s most serious gallery addresses. Quiet, necessary and anti-spectacular in every good sense.
Javier Calleja — Curiously
Almine Rech
64 rue de Turenne, 75003 Paris
Until July 25, 2026
64 rue de Turenne, 75003 Paris
Until July 25, 2026
The final days of this cabinet of curiosities in the Marais.
Calleja’s large-eyed figures hover between innocence and unease. Go before the exhibition closes.

Re-Situ Recommends: Du Pain et des Idées
34 rue Yves Toudic, 75010 Paris
Christophe Vasseur’s bakery is one of the few in Paris that has genuinely changed how a city eats.
The chausson aux pommes, the escargots, the pain des amis: each has become part of the city’s food vocabulary.
Open Tuesday to Friday. Arrive before noon.

Until September 2026 · Free
Public Art
The Fondation Cartier has taken Raymond Hains’s lacerated poster works — décollages tearing through the surface of consumer imagery — out of the white cube and into the city.
The colonnade of the Palais-Royal and a series of Métro stations become the exhibition space.
No ticket, no reservation, no opening hours.
The city as gallery.
Enki Bilal — Ouverture
Fonds Enki Bilal, Paris
Inaugural exhibition
Inaugural exhibition
New Venue
A new permanent space has just opened in Paris dedicated entirely to Enki Bilal — comics artist, visual artist and filmmaker.
The inaugural exhibition is the first opportunity to understand this venue as a living institution.
Worth visiting early, before it becomes obligatory.
Photography Season — A Summer-Long Argument About Images
Les Rencontres d’Arles
July 6 – October 4, 2026 · Day trip
July 6 – October 4, 2026 · Day trip
Not Paris, but three hours south: the world’s most important photography festival is underway in Arles until October 4.
A full day — train, exhibitions, the Luma Foundation and lunch at the Calendal — is one of the better things you can do with a summer weekend.

Re-Situ Recommends: Juveniles
47 rue de Richelieu, 75001 Paris
Tim Johnston’s wine bar is two minutes from the Palais-Royal.
Natural wine, a short menu that changes and no reservation. Lunch on weekdays, dinner five nights a week.
Go on a whim.
Les Immanquables

Until August 2, 2026
75016 Paris
Until August 2, 2026
Closing August 2
250 prints, some never shown before.
Model, surrealist, portraitist and war correspondent, Lee Miller is presented here through the full arc of her career in the largest retrospective devoted to her in France in twenty years.
The photograph of Miller in Hitler’s bathtub on April 30, 1945 — taken hours after Dachau — is here.
So is the full arc of what preceded it.
Hilma af Klint — Paintings for the Temple
Grand Palais
Until August 30, 2026
Until August 30, 2026
Still the defining show of the Parisian summer.
Make time if you have not seen it. If you have, consider going again.
Clair-Obscur
Bourse de Commerce — Pinault Collection
Until August 24, 2026
Until August 24, 2026
From Caravaggio to Pierre Huyghe, 100 works explore the long conversation between darkness and image-making.
A summer exhibition with the weight of winter.
Leandro Erlich — L’Evidence Invisible
Grand Palais
Until September 6, 2026
Until September 6, 2026
The Argentine artist known for architecture-as-illusion fills the Grand Palais with rooms that are not rooms and buildings that are not buildings.
Accessible, spectacular and more rigorous than it first appears.

Re-Situ Recommends: Le Grand Véfour
17 rue de Beaujolais, 75001 Paris
Hidden in the arcades of the Palais-Royal since 1784, Le Grand Véfour has one of the most beautiful dining rooms in Paris.
Napoleon, Hugo and Colette all sat here. Guy Martin’s two-star kitchen matches the setting.
Reserve well ahead for lunch, and sit by the window facing the garden.
A Paris That Reveals Itself Slowly
No two cities reveal themselves the same way twice.
Neither will this one.
