Our ideas for cultural visits in Paris this September

September is the perfect time to rediscover Paris and make the most of its cultural attractions. Whether you are visiting with family, friends or on your own, the French capital is full of accessible and engaging experiences, from guided tours and immersive adventures to fun activities designed for all ages.

Among the must-see experiences, explore behind the scenes at the Stade de France, one of Europe’s most iconic sporting venues, or discover the French National Rugby Centre in Linas-Marcoussis, where a guided tour takes you inside the training grounds of the French national rugby teams.

Another experience offered by Cultival is the guided tour of Clairefontaine, France’s National Football Centre, which opens the doors to a site usually closed to the public. Steeped in history, this is where French footballing excellence has been nurtured for decades.

For a more immersive experience this September, step into the world of “Mazarin and the Keepers of the secret” at the Bibliothèque nationale de France – Richelieu site. This life-size cultural adventure is an original way to experience Paris, combining problem-solving, exploration and teamwork.

For heritage, design and craftsmanship, the Galerie des Gobelins, part of the Mobilier national, hosts “Made in Situ” by Noé Duchaufour-Lawrance. This guided tour invites you to discover the designer’s creative world, bringing together contemporary design, traditional craftsmanship and a dialogue with the Mobilier national’s collections.

Finally, end your September day on a spectacular note with AURA INVALIDES, the nighttime show that illuminates the Dôme des Invalides. An immersive experience where light, music and architecture come together.
