This autumn, discover the Carreau du Temple and the Paris Nautic Show

With its eclectic and diverse programme of events throughout the year, the historic Carreau du Temple remains an emblematic venue in the heart of the capital that is well worth a visit.

An essential culture, arts and sports venue in the heart of Paris

Whether it’s sport, culture, art, fashion or even design and the latest trends, the Carreau du Temple, a multidisciplinary venue dedicated to all kinds of events, will present it. Easily recognisable by its monumental yet elegant glass and metal structure, this former market hall dates back to the mid-19th century and the reign of Napoleon III. In recent years it has undergone considerable renovation to turn it into a state of the art exhibition and performance venue while maintaining its architectural uniqueness. Situated close to our Hotel Relais du Marais in the 3rd arrondissement, the Carreau du Temple provides many opportunities for fun, education and relaxation, and is also a privileged place for aspiring artists. Taking pride in artistic diversity and innovative disciplines, this Parisian temple is dedicated to the discovery of urban art and other contemporary projects. Exhibitions, shows, performances, conferences and courses, the scope of its programming honours diversity in all its splendour. The Videobox exhibition from October 21st, 2016 to June 30th, 2017, for example, gives free rein to the imagination of designers. Part of the site is thus available to artists so they can present their works. A meeting place between creators and the public, the Carreau du Temple is a true temple of culture and arts in the heart of Paris, making it an ideal laboratory for artistic experimentation, discovering new talent and opening up fresh horizons.

The Paris Boat Show; the scent of the sea and the promise of holidays

If you’ve ever dreamed about spending your holidays on water, you might want to check out the possibilities available to you at this upcoming trade fair. A must for all sailing and motor boating enthusiasts, as well as water sports fans, the Salon Nautique de Paris (Paris Boat Show) offers the largest indoor port in France. From December 3rd to 11th, 2016, at the Porte de Versailles Exhibition Centre, there will be the perfect opportunity for all who are passionate about the sea, rivers and lakes to indulge their love for boats. With many events planned to enliven the week, the Paris Boat Show offers every opportunity to learn about the latest news from the maritime world. Exhibitions, events, debates and sports demonstrations take place throughout the week, presented by professionals and specialists. The Paris Boat Show welcomes a multitude of exhibitors and focuses primarily on three major areas, namely sailing boats, motor boats and board sports. Each year new craft are unveiled for the first time, along with all the latest technological innovations and equipment. This year, the Vendée is in the spotlight to the great delight of lovers of wide open spaces and revitalising and invigorating breezes.
