What's On in Paris This September
To mark la rentrée Paris has three new exhibitions which will open this month, so make sure to book ahead before you visit.
Cézanne et nous at the Grand Palais
Dates: 23 September 2026 – 17 January 2027
Address: Grand Palais, 3 Avenue du Général Eisenhower, 75008 Paris
A major retrospective bringing together close to 180 works around 70 by Cézanne himself, and the rest by the artists he went on to influence, from Matisse and Picasso to Giacometti, Jasper Johns and Peter Doig.

Marie Antoinette by Sofia Coppola at Château de Versailles
Dates: 22 September 2026 – 24 January 2027
Address: Petit Trianon, Château de Versailles, Place d'Armes, 78000 Versailles
Marking twenty years since Sofia Coppola's Marie Antoinette first hit cinemas, this exhibition is staged at the Petit Trianon, the very estate where much of the film was shot, and the place most intimately tied to the queen herself. On display are Milena Canonero's original Oscar-winning costumes, props, annotated scripts, storyboards and behind-the-scenes photography, plus scenes from the film screened in the actual rooms where they were filmed. It's like history and cinema colliding in one setting - it's likely to be one of the most visited exhibitions of the season.

Andy Warhol: La Ligne et l'Image at the Musée du Luxembourg
Dates: 16 September 2026 – 10 January 2027
Address: Musée du Luxembourg, 19 Rue de Vaugirard, 75006 Paris
The Warhol most people know is silkscreen, colour, repetition. This exhibition goes the other way, around 150 drawings, alongside a handful of paintings, screenprints, photographs and archival material, tracing his relationship with drawing from an early 1942 self-portrait through to the 1980s. It's set to showcase a genuinely different side of an artist most of us think we already know.
