In Paris, 2025 will be marked by major new cultural events. From the anticipated return of an iconic monument to a gigantic artistic project, discover the four highlights that will rock Paris in 2025.
The reopening of the towers of Notre-Dame de Paris cathedral
While Notre-Dame de Paris reopened its doors to the public on 8 December, its worksite is not yet completely finished. From summer 2025, visitors will once again be able to climb its towers and admire the gargoyles and breathtaking views over Paris.
The new tour route also includes viewpoints of the rebuilt spire and framework.

The move of the Fondation Cartier
Currently located on boulevard Raspail, the Fondation Cartier will pack its bags at the end of 2025 and move to the heart of Paris, 2 place du Palais Royal, a stone’s throw from the Louvre Museum, in a new building designed by architect Jean Nouvel.
The end of the Grand Palais renovation project and the reopening of the Palais de la Découverte
In March 2021, the Grand Palais closed its doors for a vast restoration and restructuring project. Since the summer of 2024, to coincide with the Olympic and Paralympic Games, the Nave has once again been open to the public, but work continues on avenue Winston Churchill.
In spring 2025, the works will come to an end, allowing visitors to rediscover the Grand Palais in a completely new configuration. Brighter, with new exhibition areas, it will once again host the Palais de la Découverte, which has been completely reinvented.

The Pont Neuf Project
40 years ago, from 22 September to 5 October 1985, Christo and Jeann-Claude wrapped the Pont Neuf in 41,800m2 of fabric! It was an event that left a lasting impression on all those who were able to attend.
To mark this 40th anniversary, artist JR, in collaboration with the Fondation Christo et Jeanne-Claude, has come up with Projet Pont-Neuf : the transformation of the Pont Neuf into a grotto! Scheduled for September 2025, this ground-breaking project will enable visitors to admire the grotto by day and night.
