A Difficult Weekend for Paris.

On a weekend of predicted bad weather sadly some opportunities to be indoors will be lost due to the current unrest.

The major contemporary art fair at the Grand Palais, '
Art Basel Paris' which was scheduled to close on Sunday, will now close on Friday evening (7pm) due to these fears.Several other Paris museums including the Louvre, the Musée d’Orsay, the Musée de l’Orangerie and the Picasso Museum will be closed exceptionally over the weekend so anyone planning a cultural weekend in Paris should check individual websites before setting out.

Stay safe
