October 5, 2002 in Paris - A Night to Remember

Join the fun for the city’s first annual "Sleepless Night"

Paris City Hall invites Parisians, visitors, night owls and early risers alike to participate in the city’s first ever "official" sleepless night. The fun begins at nightfall (7:22 p.m.) on October 5, on into the witching hour and through the wee hours of Sunday, October 6. The "Nuit blanche" as it's called, will feature concerts, film projections shows, happenings and spectacles through the night in unusual, mysterious or unexpected locations throughout the first to 11th districts of Paris. Museums, public libraries, monuments, places of worship, parks and gardens, movie theaters, hospitals, universities and more will be open for visiting or will host special events. Admire the Vietnamese fashion show at the Palais Royal, where models will showcase their traditional dress. Miss the Algonquin? The ceremonial rooms of Paris City Hall will resonate with piano music and song. Or go to the Garde Républicaine headquarters for the concert performed by the French President's mounted ceremonial guards, then drop by the Louvre for a 3:00 a.m. salute to the Mona Lisa.
